Merger of Legal Entities - A Technical and Cultural Challenge

Period 2010, Jun - 2011, Jan
Roles Advisor Programme Manager                  


Responsibilites
I was responsible to keep the Programme Manager sharp on both the programme issues and issues that played in its periphery. 

Challenges
  • The programme is large
  • Complexity
    • emotions of people
    • Integration of systems (e.g. SAP and Psygis)
    • Internal politics
  • Parallel a -/- 20% programme

Achievements
  • Ensuring two important decisions were taken timely and smoothly and giving all stakeholders a more than good feeling about both the process and outcome.

Learning Experiences
Whilst I did a good job as an advisor and love doing it again and again, running such programmes myself is not my core strength.
