Statoil and Hydro Merger Organizational Change Case Study

This case study outlines the challenges and solutions encountered during the merger of Statoil and Hydro, focusing on the organizational changes required to accommodate the integration of their operations. The document details the key challenges faced by Statoil, including the complexity of designing and modeling the merger, the lack of communication regarding organizational changes, and the absence of an effective method for employees to visualize changes and apply for new positions. The objectives of the project included streamlining merger activities, providing real-time access to Human Capital Management (HCM) data, and enabling over 10,000 users to navigate open positions effectively. The results highlighted the successful implementation of Nakisa's org charting and design software, which integrated seamlessly with SAP, leading to an intuitive user interface and minimal help-desk calls. The case study emphasizes the importance of effective communication and visualization tools in managing organizational changes during significant mergers.
