You bought the business. Now you have to keep it.

Most acquisitions are won or lost in the first 100 days, and most teams have no plan for them. This tracker gives the manager in charge one place to hold it together.

What you get

• A day by day and week by week plan for the first 100 days. Enter your close date once and every due date fills in. It has checkpoints at day 1, 30, 60 and 100, and a column for the choice that matters most on each item: preserve and strengthen, selectively integrate, or substantially consolidate.
• An owner and a due date for every task, so nothing sits with nobody.
• A capacity budget. It compares the hours each owner can give with the tasks due that week, so you see when the plan asks for more than your people have.
• A change ceiling. Write down what does not change before Day 30, why, and who has the authority to say no.
• A Friday check of six questions, plus an issue log and an opening baseline, so you measure against what you bought.

Who built it

Building Results is run by an operator with 25 years in business and about 16 integrations behind them, from a national distributor to a private equity backed field services company. The point of the tracker is simple: owning a business does not mean you understand it yet, and the first 100 days are where you find out.
