However, having an overall approach that focuses on what is critical and necessary in both the planning and the execution can make the difference between frustration, false starts, and rework versus repeatable success. This session will examine and discuss the integration must-haves and non-negotiables. Woodrow will provide ideas to ensure a rapid understanding of the vision and integration strategy and how-to follow-up with direct plans and actions.

Middle managers play a critical role in integration, although their engagement is often taken for granted or even overlooked. The impact of these managers and supervisors is especially critical when buy-side leaders move on to what is next and acquired leaders depart or exit emotionally. The responsibility for executing critical deal objectives is often left to middle managers. What should be their defined role and responsibility? What knowledge, ability, and skills are needed for their success? How can they become jump-started with the integration experience, change readiness and resiliency to lead others through challenging work and culture transitions? Join Will in exploring and answering these questions from integration planning through execution. He will provide practical options to build middle-manager understanding, buy-in, and commitment to leading change that will accelerate employee adoption during your organization’s next transaction.
