Preparing for Day 1
How do you structure the governance of an acquisition integration and appoint the right people for the job?
This course is part of the Certified Acquisition Integration Manager program
To most employees of a business, the first time that they hear about acquired is when it is publicly announced. Although integration planning has been worked on for a while, to most employees this is the first day of the integration - hence it is known as "Day 1".
How and what you say in the Day 1 announcement is very important. For some integrations the way that you announce and welcome new employees can be the difference between integration success and failure. This course will teach you how to prepare and deliver the Day 1 announcement.
Are you fully prepared to announce an acquisition, winning the hearts and minds of the staff, partners, and clients of your acquisition?
Preparing for Day 1 addresses the following questions
- What must each business function do before announcing?
- What are the typical activities that we must plan for at an annoucement?
- How do you successfully announce when there are multiple locations?
- How do we plan the right messaging to each of the different audiences?
The course walks you through an example of announcing an acquisition to 6 different audiences (1 of which is the acquired staff). It identifies where, who, and how each audience hears the news.
This course includes a comprehensive Day 1 checklist for download.
