December 18th - PMIspective – Copany Acquisition: Who takes the old folks? – PMI Expert talk

by admincf | Nov 21, 2024 | Current PMIspective, Event, PMIspective

Who takes the old folks?

No, this isn't about Christmas. I'm talking about former executives who, after an acquisition, suddenly find themselves without the steering wheel. Once driving the company's direction, the ex-CEO now stands idle, sidelined like a Christmas tree post-New Year’s Day. No one quite knows what to do with him.

🚨 Stay alert before he gets creative and starts developing his own post-merger rituals. Here are a few classics:

👉 The Office Gossip Guru: Offers unsolicited advice at the coffee machine, analyzes the company with interns, and warns everyone about "the new strategies."

👉 The Meeting Marathon Man: Attends EVERY meeting, invited or not, and shakes his head at every PowerPoint slide with a muttered “We never did it that way.”

👉 The Mentor of Hearts: Self-appoints as a wise advisor, offering personal mentoring sessions to every leader – whether they’re interested or not.

👉 The Micro-Detail Maestro: Analyzes every detail out of boredom, from the ergonomics of the office chairs to whether the coffee machine is optimally placed.

Nobody wants this. But how do you find a meaningful role for these former decision-makers? How can you harness their vast expertise without them sabotaging the new course?

Join our next PMIspective session on December 18 as we discuss these challenges and their solutions. Be inspired by our expert panel, discover best practices, and hear how other companies have managed these situations. Share your experiences, ask questions, and tell us your own stories – all in a relaxed setting.

November 20th, 2024 - PMIspective - Everything in its own time – but when exactly? PMI Expert Talk

by admincf | Nov 1, 2024 | Current PMIspective, Event, PMIspective

Timing is everything, they say. But when exactly is the perfect time to start your post-merger integration?

Right after closing? Sure, you can do that.

Or maybe you wait a little. That can be smart too, as long as you don't let the integration fall off the radar entirely. After all, you'll probably have a clearer head and a better overview at a later point. And better late than never, right?

But too late isn't exactly a winning strategy either. So, what’s the sweet spot?

In our next PMIspective on November 20th, we’ll dive deep into the topic of timing. Our expert panel will take a closer look at real cases where waiting paid off – and where it didn’t. And yes, the "started too early and crashed it hard" stories will also make an appearance.

Because one thing’s for sure: a successful integration doesn’t happen by chance. It all comes down to good timing.
