Merger Support Pulse™

Blend Two Companies Into One Successful Business

Go beyond completing the merger and create an integrated, whole organization with leaders, managers, and employees who all “feel” and behave as if they are part of one company.

• Create one company that has higher profitability, higher growth, and greater competitive advantage through relationships with its key stakeholders.
• Provide the constant information and guidance that leaders need to recognize problems quickly and address them before they become extensive. Addressing problems keeps the company focused on its business and leads to greater employee commitment.
• One company wins; two companies create friction, problems, and poor relationships. Two companies do not “win.”

Process:

• Collect frequent data from key stakeholders as you progress through the various phases of the merger integration.
• Provide frequent reports (as frequently as weekly) to those managers who have responsibility for taking action.
• Provide guidance for individual leaders in interpreting the reports and knowing which actions to take.
• Actions are recorded and updated as needed.

 How the eePulse Solution works (first 3 months):

 Month 1: Collect data from the senior management teams of both firms. Review results, discuss implications and possible actions with senior management – either one-on-one, as a team, or as two teams.

Month 2: Roll out data collection process to those managers who report to senior leaders in both firms. Track trends, conduct briefing sessions on key trends along with action planning.

Month 3: Data collection moves from exploratory to strategic, asking questions about confidence in strategy and ability to execute. Also ask questions that “drill down” into key issues that arose in the earlier months

Results:

• Measurable return on your investment.
• Faster merger integration.
• More successful merger integration.
• Long-term improved competitive advantage.
• Greater leadership capability and confidence at many levels.
