Is an integration manager needed during a merger?
It doesn’t matter what the person is called, but it is very important that an experienced employee is charged with the integration process. With this person in place, a roadmap can be made, which outlines the necessary steps to be taken in a logical coherent manner. The integration manager must have the freedom to go back and forth between the board and the different departments within the companies. The integration manager will have a good sense of the cultural differences between the two organisations.
