  1. Risk Management:
  • Identify potential risks and issues related to the integration process and develop mitigation strategies to address them.
  • Monitor and evaluate risks throughout the integration lifecycle, proactively addressing any issues that may arise.
  • Work closely with legal, compliance, and risk management teams to ensure that integration activities comply with regulatory requirements and mitigate legal or reputational risks.
