Integrating the acquired team without losing them or yours

Integrare il team acquisito senza perdere né loro né i tuoi · Leadership · Beginner

The case

Your company acquired a small competitor for its technology and its eight engineers. The informal deal of the acquisition: they keep their autonomy. Six months later, autonomy has become separation: they use their own tools, skip shared rituals, and their lead answers only to the sold founder, who has an earn-out and will leave in 18 months. Meanwhile your original engineers, paid on average 15% less than the acquired ones (a gap revealed by internal job postings), talk openly about first- and second-class citizens. Two resignations in the past month cite the climate. How do you put the organization back together?

La tua azienda ha acquisito un piccolo concorrente per la sua tecnologia e per i suoi otto ingegneri. Il patto informale dell'acquisizione: loro mantengono autonomia. Sei mesi dopo, l'autonomia è diventata separazione: usano strumenti propri, saltano i rituali comuni, e il loro lead risponde solo al fondatore venduto, che ha un earn-out e se ne andrà tra 18 mesi. Intanto i tuoi ingegneri storici, pagati in media il 15% in meno di quelli acquisiti (differenza emersa dai bandi interni), parlano apertamente di figli e figliastri. Due dimissioni nell'ultimo mese citano il clima. Come ricomponi l'organizzazione?
