The Acquisition Process of Tippecanoe Laboratories
Key Learning Points.
9
Key Learning Points
A Solid HR Integrations of Payroll, Benefits and Policies is the Foundation to a effective overall Integration Process. The lack of HR related problems allow the rest of the Integration process to progress without these issues getting in the way.
Do not underestimate the amount of resources that are needed for Integration (Management Capacity)
Expect that you will need to replace some key managers, do not develop
Key Manager Contracts that are longer then 6 months. They can always be renewed.
Have a solid communications plan. A Plan that covers not only Day One, but has planned and required Communications activities over the first 9 to 12 months of the integration.
Build in the opportunity to assess the progress of the Integration Plan.
10
Key Learning Points – Change is more than a Phrase
Remember that Change is always with us, but it is not natural.
Change is always good when it happens to the other guy!

Business Management Integration
Business Management Integration is about organizational leadership.
Moving the mindset of the Tippecanoe Leadership from being a cost center of a large Pharma Organization to a Profit Center of a Custom Manufacturing Organization (CMO).
Changing the behavior of the leadership to allow for open disagreement and the delegation of authority.
Guiding leadership though effective utilization of networking in Evonik’s Matrix Organizational Structure.
