Navigate the most critical 100 days in corporate life where two companies become one – or destroy each other trying. This intensive simulation drops you into the chaos of post-merger integration where cultural misalignment, talent flight, and operational disruption threaten everything the deal was meant to achieve.
Face the impossible balancing act of preserving valuable cultural elements while evolving toward unified vision, identifying flight-risk employees before they take critical knowledge with them, and delivering quick wins to skeptical shareholders without compromising long-term strategy. You’ll confront leaked memos sparking distrust, union backlash against policy changes, and productivity dips among previously high-performing teams.
Experience the human drama beneath financial projections as you merge org charts with overlapping leadership roles, choose which brand identity survives, and communicate layoffs with empathy while maintaining operational continuity. Learn to build trust across radically different company cultures, prioritize synergy realization under time pressure, and avoid the integration paralysis that kills more mergers than market conditions.
Every decision creates ripples that determine whether you’ve created a powerhouse or presided over an expensive disaster.
