The Need

Why? Siloed integration planning and insufficient communication are two of the most common culprits.  (The Big Idea: The New M&A Playbook)

why? Managing the Experience of change

When companies merge, acquire, or transform it is common to create detailed change management plans within each department and bring those plans together into a master transformation plan. That's great! 


However, without effectively managing the change experience for key stakeholders, companies risk losing customers, employees, partners, investors, and, ultimately, revenue. 


Transformation experience design outlines how changes impact your stakeholder audiences to help align change activity across departments and communicate what’s changing, why, when, and how. Managing the experience of change for your key shareholders helps you set expectations and avoid common and costly mistakes that drive employees and businesses away.  


The problem is the team members who “own” the stakeholder experiences in your company are 1) busy doing their day jobs and, 2) planning for and executing transformation. They have no time (and, sometimes no experience) to focus on stakeholder experience design. That’s where Lifeline Brand Management can help.
