The Director of Transformation reported that 'those who participated in the Handling Change events found them invaluable in helping to make sense of what they were going through during the merger'. Furthermore, the information obtained from the sessions 'played a key role in helping the Management Board decide how best to direct its change resources, with immediate action being taken throughout the process'.
