3. Misperceptions

Black & Decker views Stanley as

Stanley views Black & Decker as

More operations focused than customer focused

Structured and process-driven as opposed to somewhat more flexible

Not quite as lean as SWK views itself

Resource rich as opposed to lean and efficient

More competitive in nature than BDK views itself

Structured and formal in leadership communication as opposed to slightly informal

It is common for partners to perceive their cultures as different

next

Misperceptions are Natural, but There is Overwhelming Agreement

We have two great companies.

And together we’ll be stronger.

next

Moving Forward

Stanley and Black & Decker share far more similarities than differences

Integration effectiveness will depend in part on how well the perceived and actual cultural differences are managed

Be aware and open regarding cultural differences within your team

Maintain an honest, frequent dialogue within your team and encourage sub-team members to do the same

next

Thank You!
