M&A Integration Training—

Business as UnUsual for
Mergers & Acquisitions

Business as UnUsual for M&A lays out the ground rules for good integration management.
The proven tools and advice in the program will immediately improve effectiveness throughout the management ranks and dramatically increase the odds for merger success.

PRITCHETT can customize the standard courseware and, if necessary, tailor elements to make the package specific to your situation.
Why is merger training crucial for your people?
Productivity Decline
Employees spend roughly 1/4 of the workday obsessing over the impact of their merger rather than performing their work.
Mid-Management Paralysis
90% of senior and middle managers are unprepared for the changes following their mergers.
Communication Problems
Employees with realistic merger previews maintain more stable levels of commitment, satisfaction, trust, and performance.
Priority Confusion
Transition and change causes conflict and misalignment, which in turn leads to a loss of promised synergies.
Loss of Talent
50% of senior managers leave in the first year after a merger. 75% leave within the first three years.
Damage to the Brand
A muddled transition/integration can dilute corporate reputation, brand promise, and loyalty during major change.
You should move swiftly and purposely to shape opinions . . . to set the proper expectations . . . to provide your people the understanding and coaching they need in order to help drive toward merger success.
The M&A transition period is marked by ambiguity, disruption, and change. Ordinarily that spells trouble. So what’s the best strategy for dealing with this game-changer?

Give your people the #1 merger training program, Business as UsUsual for Mergers and Acquisitions:
  • Proven and field-tested
  • Attended by over 30,000 managers and employees
  • Rolled out for several of the world’s biggest mergers
