#mergers: A Blessing or a Curse? ??
We all know that mergers can bring about amplified strengths and collaborations. But, just like two sides of a coin, there's a flip side to this story!
Case in point: The merger between the #highercollegeoftechnologies (HCT) and the #appliedsciencecolleges in #oman. On paper, combining these giants promised to raise the education standard. But, my findings suggest there were some initial performance hiccups.
Why might that be? ??
Cultural Clashes: ?? When two diverse entities come together, it’s like merging two different worlds!
Operational Overlaps: ?? Sometimes, more hands don't make light work.
Resistance to Change: ?? We humans can be creatures of habit, can't we?
Unclear Communication: ?? Lost in translation? It happens more than we'd like.
For HCT and the Applied Science Colleges, continuous performance assessments post-merger can be a game-changer. Feedback, both from the heart ?? and from hard data ??, can guide the way forward.
For anyone navigating the complex world of mergers, remember: Strategy, open-hearted communication, and adaptability are your best allies.
Sharing is caring, and knowledge ?? is power! Thoughts? Share below! ??
