“By any objective measure, the amount of significant, often traumatic, change in
organizations has grown tremendously in the last 2 decades. Although some people
predict that most of the reengineering, restrategising, mergers, downsizing, quality efforts and cultural renewal
projects will soon disappear, I think that is highly unlikely."
John Kotter – Leading Change

Reasons why change initiatives fail1. “Allowing too much complacency” – Not creating
a burning platform for change
2. “Failing to create a sufficiently powerful guiding coalition – not driving the change from the top”
3. “Underestimating the power of vision”
4. “Failing to create short term wins”
5. “Under communicating the vision”
6. “Neglecting to anchor changes firmly in the corporate culture”
7. “Permitting obstacles to block the new vision”
8. “Declaring victory too soon”

Planning for change
• A “clean room” was established in September 2001 to plan for the merger
• This consisted of a team of dedicated employees from both pre merger companies
• Legal training to comply with competition law
• Over 500 people producing over 1 million hours of work to prepare for the merger

the new hp
• On day one of the new company 30,000 employees of the new HP were trained and ready to serve customers
• The new hp.com website was available in 21 languages in 72 countries
• Over 2 million hits in the first two weeks
• Clear product roadmaps and transition plans were delivered

IT infrastructure • 150,000 employees could log on to their respective networks and accounts from either pre-merger Compaq/HP sites and send e-mail to all pre-merger employees
• All employees could traverse pre-merger cross-company networks to view each company’s pre-merger employee portal
• The hp portal became our primary means of communicating merger related information receiving over 2 million hits on day one
![Page 12: Energising through change – An opportunity for HR](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051117/56815b07550346895dc8b59b/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

Organization culture • Research was done in the clean room to establish current organizational culture in the pre-merger companies
• A cultural framework for the new company was created
• Mechanisms to communicate the new framework included:
o The HP portal
o Poster campaigns
o E - learning
o Face to face briefings
o Fast start workshops

The need for a change management strategy
• Managing the cultural change after the merger between HP and Compaq was essential for the success of the merger
• The challenge for HR was to develop a strategy to maintain and surpass the pre-merger standards of both companies and to manage this cultural change process
• HP’s People Strategy enabled us:• To speed up and smooth the process of change• To move through the initial change period• To set a culture of high performance right from the
start

Creating the Best Place to Work
HP’s new culture is guided by a core set of ethics
that:• Drives progressive work-life programs• Listens to its employees and acts on what we hear• Provides all employees with tools, resources and a
supportive environment that values diversity and inclusion

Creating the Best Place to Work
Work/life balance at HPHP’s flexible work arrangements provideemployees with alternatives to:• Working the traditional five day a week work
schedule (Monday-Friday) and/or
• Working solely from an HP facility or office location
