About the Program:  Building Trust and Unity During a Merger or Acquisition

Nearly all organizations (large and small) go through some kind of restructuring effort every few years. Often, these changes take the form of mergers and acquisitions, but even smaller restructurings can be incredibly disruptive. In most cases these efforts to improve the bottom line have such a negative impact on morale and productivity, they leave the entity in grave danger.  If this rings true for your situation, you will profoundly benefit from this program.

Join Robert T. Whipple – MBA, CPLP for an entertaining and enlightening program that identifies the root cause of problems with restructurings and offers many solutions. This session will be interactive, and it will reveal some wonderful opportunities to turn a corner on the malaise that has brought many organizations to the brink of disaster.

By the end of this program, participants will learn:

·        Realize why trust is often destroyed in restructurings and how this can be prevented

·        Know why top management usually over values the benefits and grossly underestimates the costs

·        Learn a model on how to improve the process to provide equal energy to culture issues and financial issues

·        Discover seven ways management can improve the results of a transition
