There is a myriad of endings every day in organisations.

This episode focuses on mergers, whether it’s teams or whole organisations, this is one of the most complex events we can experience in organisational life and is rife with opportunities to increase the strength and success of the merger

The conversation includes:

  • The role of transparency

  • Navigating the challenge of different information being available to different people at different times

  • Hidden pitfalls and ways to avoid them

  • History matters – acknowledging the past as you celebrate the new

  • Losses, opportunities and assumptions
