Strugandt and Losen Merger

Deloitte Case Study Intro

The merger of two major technology companies forged a team of 140,000 employees with capabilities in 160 countries, doing business in 43 currencies and 15 languages. Contested by key members of the board until the final hours of the transaction, the merger had a media “fishbowl” effect creating a myriad of rumors regarding layoffs and heightening internal anxiety. The client needed to quickly formulate a strategy to deal with the rumors, stabilize the workforce, and set the strategic agenda for change.
