What it is about

After an acquisition or merger, organizations need to overcome many cultural, organizational, structural, and technological challenges to unify and streamline business processes across the entire enterprise. Very often, management and employees of both organizations suffer from a poorly planned post-merger integration process.

Also, the transition to a purpose-driven organization, where employee self-management is how the organization is controlled, with no need for a strong hierarchy might cause resistance. An organizational transformation to a model where traditional decision processes are replaced needs careful preparation, planning, continuous observation, adoption, and support.

Culture, as well as processes, must be a focus in efforts to integrate or transform companies because when left to itself culture will often undermine the expected value-creation.

What alldigital can do

The alldigital advisors assist in assembling the integration streams and establishing a committed, credible, and highly visible leadership consisting of leaders from both companies.

We address the company’s core areas and build the corresponding workstreams: Clients & Sales, Employees & Human Resources, Information Technology, Marketing & Public Relations, Accounting & Controlling, Office Management & Administration.

A special focus is set on talent management by selecting, retaining, and developing the best people, as well as managing cultural integration and change management rigorously.

Communication is the key success factor of any integration agenda. The alldigital advisors support the integration teams and the senior leaders in the creation of a communication strategy, acting as a facilitator and sparring partner for the leadership team.
