How to make mergers work

Today, most people will go through an acquisition, change program or merger. Here is my tip for creating success through this time

  • Focus should be on the skills and abilities of the talent available not on the process itself.
  • Look for unique items not similarities.

Why?

Well it is people that will create the success.....where is the talent and how can you engage their minds in creating the future.

Concentrating on similarities ends up as a lose lose, as people will have to compromise and also it won't work for the differences...and remember the differences will have made the company unique and successful. Look to embrace the originality and build a process that protects it.
