Soft Side of Post-merger Integration (PMI) (PowerPoint PPT)

A critical mistake in a Post-merger Integration (PMI) is to assume that logic and facts will prevail. Management often presume if we communicate the strategic rationale of the merger, most employees will support the merger.

In reality, PMI is dominated by the "soft" human emotions, as is the case with any large organizational change. How we manage these "soft" factors is arguably the most decisive factor driving the success of our PMI.

In this presentation, we discuss the 8 key actions to take that address the soft side of PMI:

1. Identify the points of cultural conflict.
2. Take the emotional temperature.
3. Recognize communication is key—and silence is deadly.
4. Promote informal, face-to-face dialogue.
5. Recognize that management appointments send messages.
6. Retain key personnel.
7. Overcome regulatory challenges.
8. Restructure the workforce constructively.

This presentation also provide an overview to Mergers & Acquisitions, covering the following topics: Consolidation Merger, Growth Merger, Hybrid Merger, 5 Ss of Mergers, Key Opportunities, among others.

This deck also includes slide templates for you to use in your own business presentations.
