Description

My podcast guest and colleague Anand Pathuri, takes us through his involvement with the famous J.P Morgan, Bear Stearns acquisition of 2008. Not only was this an acquisition 'forced' on both parties by Reserve Bank Chairman Ben Bernanke, it had a minefield of challenges.

  • It took place during the Global Financial Crisis
  • A wide gap in customer experiences and scale
  • An unrealistic integration timeline of just 12 months
  • An atmosphere of fear and continual loss of good people
  • The unwillingness on one side to engage and assist with the integration

So listen to Anand tell the story of how a non-conventional approach built the foundation for successful integration and how soft skills persuaded key people to provide their time and knowledge as part of a committee style Integration Management Office.

Fascinating listening and enough to make anyone shudder and be thankful that it wasn't them having to sort this out.
