Experience Managing More than 25 Consolidation Efforts
Through the 25 consolidation efforts around the nation that we’ve managed, we have learned that the primary benefit of consolidation is enhanced service to our communities. This is an invaluable advantage that should be at the foundation of every consolidation initiative. If enhanced service to your community isn’t a primary objective, the chances of a successful consolidation initiative decrease significantly. If your sole reason for consolidation is financial savings, you will likely fail.
