The Importance of Speed

"If you're not implementing at the speed of light, your opportunities will dissolve before you can extract the rewards."
Consequences of Prolonged Transitions

"Productivity sags, then plunges."
Merger of Equals

"There is no such thing as a merger of equals."
The Myth of Resistance to Change

"It's remarkable how many executives have been duped by the notion that people resist change and that a slow transition gives employees time to adjust."
Value Driver Analysis

"The value driver working session engenders agreement on what path to take."
Communications that Stabilize and Mobilize the Company

"You can either control speculation or become a victim of it."
Getting Attention

"To accelerate through a transition you need everyone's attention and acceptance of the transition's inevitability."
Pitfalls and Prescriptions

"More is not better."
Acute Structural Anxiety

"Acute structural anxiety syndrome is often the cause when CEOs adopt another dangerous tactic: delay."
Misguided Remedies for Acute Structural Anxiety Syndrome

"Structures generated in a vaccuum do not relate to the business value drivers that propelled the changes taking place."
Aligning Work and Integrating Processes

"The following steps have proved useful to many who have attempted to slog their way through the procedural bog created by a merger or acquisition."
Myths Surrounding Post-Merger Cultural Integration

"Far from being a major cause of failure, differences in culture can stimulate new vitality if they are not smothered."
Selecting and Deploying Role Models

"If high-profile managers and individual contributors do not engage in the desired behaviors, employees will accuse management of not "walking the talk.""
Rewarding Economic Value Creation

"Value drivers become the specific objectives and milestones that determine incentive opportunity and trigger payout."
Accelerated Transition

"The Accelerated Transition is an integrated proposition for getting a company from point A to point B with as little disruption and destruction as possible."
