Why Do Some Newly Combined I.T. Teams Quickly Rally While Others Falter?

I.T. enables over 50% of post-deal transactions. Perfecting your plan for integration -- with special emphasis on culture -- is becoming a best practice too important to ignore.

How much does culture really matter in integration? Plenty. It can make the difference between between quickly demonstrating a measurable impact on the bottom line or failing to meet expectations.

Because I.T. has always been a highly "cultural" profession, investing the energy to build culture into the integration plan from the outset can reap tremendous benefits, both emotional and economic.

Topics we cover include:

• How robust must due diligence be in order to uncover  cultural issues and insure a successful integration?
• Gaining executive alignment (both sides) for the integration plan
• Preparing the IT organization for acquisition or merger integration
• Methods for creating a common culture
• Developing common metrics and methodologies
• Aligning roles and responsibilities
• Navigating the cultural landmines inherent in global integration

Who Should Attend: IT, Strategic Planning, Corporate and Business Development Executives responsible for overseeing and executing the M&A integration process.
