Most integration and transformation efforts don't fail because of strategy. They falter in execution, where human dynamics determine whether value is realized or lost.
FILI closes that gap through independent readiness assessments, executive advisory, and surfacing the organizational risks that derail execution, so leaders protect what the deal or transformation was meant to deliver.

Founder & Principal
Slajana Jovanovska is a strategic advisor and M&A transformation leader with two decades of hands-on experience in complex program environments, including ten years leading post-merger integration and organizational change at Fortune 500 and mid-market companies.
In high-stakes initiatives, human dynamics determine whether value is realized or lost. She founded FILI to close that gap.
WHAT LEADERS SAY
Trusted by leaders at the world's most complex organizations
"Slajana worked in my change management team and I was very impressed with her performance. Slajana was able to operate at both a strategic and operational delivery level. Our complex global programme cut across multiple regions and markets with numerous work streams ... Slajana often followed a methodical and considered approach in everything she did, and was not afraid to diplomatically question the status quo where she believed something could be done differently with better results. "
Global Transformation Program Lead, Leading Global Healthcare Company
"I had the pleasure of working directly with Slajana for almost a year, as she led change management for two different workstreams in a large transformational technology migration... She fiercely advocated for end users, escalating as needed when program decisions would impact users out in the business. It was a pleasure having Slajana's steadfast presence on the team and I would welcome the chance to work together again in the future. "
Director of Change Management, Fortune 500 Company
"I was so fortunate to work with Slajana in 2024 while she helped us lead change management efforts... Slajana brought a wealth of expertise and knowledge supporting the global sales team's move from Salesforce to Microsoft Dynamics 365, and her expertise was critical to laying the foundation for success."

WHEN TO ENGAGE FILI
Before deal close or integration launch, when unassessed execution risk can jeopardize expected synergies.
During early integration planning, when alignment, governance, or operating model design will determine downstream execution success.
When leadership misalignment or execution risk begins to surface, before it slows decisions or erodes momentum.
At transformation planning, when clarity, alignment, and behavioral readiness will determine adoption and momentum.
During execution, when initiatives stall, drift, or need course correction before value is lost.
