Merger and cultural change are not abstract, but are about motivation and behaviour. Motivation factors determine a successful merger and also the culture. Insight into these factors leads to movement and successful change.
In the case of a merger and cultural change, you have to know the existing culture and working methods, in order to be able to change this. It is also very important to have insights into what drives the employee’s to guide change. People can show every type of behaviour, as long as they are motivated in a way that energises them. Management Drives can clearly show you everyone unique drives and what energises them. You need to understand those drives and approach every person in their preferred particular way.
''Within Aegon Netherlands, we see an important combination between people and technology, also towards the future. In this we see an important role for Management Drives.''

It is impossible to achieve a merger and cultural change from one day to the next. You can give the start signal and sign a contract, but that’s just the beginning. People determine the success of a merger and cultural change. With insight into their drives, you can guide your people in a positive way. The development is then permanent and not assumed behaviour.
With Management Drives, you ensure embedding of the movement during a merger or cultural change. With our software, your people are aware of their own drives and those of their colleagues. They are also given tools to guide their behaviour in the desired direction. Mergers and cultural change are permanent processes you can maintain with Management Drives.
