F500 Post-Merger Marketing Turbocharged Through Organizational Design

Situation

After a Fortune 500 company acquired a multi-billion-dollar business, it needed to reorganize a key department to fit into the newly merged organization. It was a stressful time. Team members were managing increased workloads without role clarity. Employees wanted rapid and clear organizational guidance. So, Kissinger Group was brought in to help lead the team’s organizational redesign.

Developing tools to support launch of the new team

Results

At the conclusion of the engagement, team members told us they had strategic purpose, alignment and role clarity. Meanwhile, the company saw optimized processes and a smooth transition to the new organizational design. Word of this success spread and executives in other areas hired Kissinger Group to do similar work.
