Mission statement for post-merger integration of 9 departments
How a SME successfully integrated nine departments into one business unit through a mission statement.


When your organization is facing change – whether measures for cost reduction, optimize processes, innovation, digital transformation, AI integration, restructuring, or cultural change – success depends on more than strategy: You need a partner who understands the human dynamics that make or break change initiatives.
If you’re in the leadership team of an ambitious SME or a global DAX corporation in industries like aerospace, defense, or automotive, you already know: transformation is complex.
What you need is guidance that not only aligns systems and structures but also inspires your people to embrace change from within. At the same time, you want to reduce productivity losses, lower unplanned fluctuation of skilled workers and flatten the change curve (see viadoo Change Integral).
That’s why companies turn to viadoo Change Guides.


Executives are measured by outcomes and transformation is no exception. Investing in structured change management and professional transformation communications may seem like a cost at first.
But roughly 8 out of 10 companies waste their money in failing change projects. So the real cost lies in there, in frustrated teams, and key talent walking out the door. Why is that? Because on average, each replacement costs twice the respective annual gross salary.
Therefore, the viadoo Change Guides equip organizations to lead change that sticks by putting people at the heart of thier projects.
