Aligning Cultures: Mergers, Acquisitions & Spinoffs

A merger or acquisition can present some of the biggest challenges an organization will ever experience. History shows that up to two-thirds of corporate mergers fail to live up to expectations. While the financial benefits and other projected “synergies” of a corporate combination may look good on paper, many disappoint, for myriad reasons, which may include: failure to effectively integrate policies, systems and processes; unforeseen complexities; cultural misalignment; unclear internal communications; and not least… the very real human factors of resistance to change and the stress of an uncertain future. This thought-provoking and interactive panel session will explore the challenges faced by corporate HR and mobility professionals attempting to execute organizational mergers, acquisitions and spinoffs. Hear the experiences, advice and success strategies of your peers who have been there, or are going through it now.
