Shillaber, James
- Abstract
Although a company's OD agenda is pre-empted during a takeover, OD practitioners in the acquired company can make unique contributions to the success of an acquisition. This article explores how OD practitioners can deliver on four integration imperatives, describes unique skills OD practitioners provide, and offers a number of important tips to help them be more effective. Finally, the article considers the unique role of the OD practitioner in the acquired company and offers suggestions for how to maximize executive sponsorship and buy-in.
