An employee program forteams facing
Are your people telling one story yet, or still two?
Usually two. The deal closed, the logos merged, and both sides still describe the company the way they did before. This program builds one story, one set of beliefs and one way of answering, in four one-hour team sessions.

SESSION 1 · FILL THE GAPSAnswered alone
Finish the sentence: the main reason the two companies came together is…MMira…to get bigger, faster.
JJonas…to give candidates and customers something neither could alone.
AAylin…cost savings.
TTomas…the other side needed us.
RRosa…nobody has really explained it.
What it costs you if nobody notices
Shared knowledgeCandidates and customers hear two companiesEvery inconsistent answer is a reason to wait and see.
Shared convictionUs and them sets inIf people believe one side is taking over, the best people on that side leave first.
Shared practiceRumours fill the gapWithout an agreed answer, the hard questions get answered by whoever is most worried.
