Most people think the most difficult part of a merger is in the planning process, and they’d be right! This is when it’s important to ask such important questions as:  

• Which organization will be the ‘surviving’ institution?  
• Who will be on the leadership team?  
• Will there be any changes to our products and services?  
• How about our systems?  
• How will the two organizations communicate?  
• Will our benefits change?  
• And, most importantly: What will the new culture of the merged organization look and feel like?

Even when a merger is between a large credit union and a relatively small one, there’s always a culture clash with a new hybrid culture emerging once the dust settles. So, how do you manage this culture change? How do you ensure you don’t lose key staff? How do you ensure that both institutions and your members benefit from the change?

From identifying red flags during your due diligence to developing metrics for measuring success during the process to postmortem problem solving, this session evaluates strategic culture change and provides you with a host of best practices that will make your next merger a success for everyone involved.
