Tyco/Johnson Controls Merger Update
14 March 2016
Merger Integration Leaders Named
Integration Management Office formed as merger planning for the combined company picks up speed
In January, Johnson Controls and Tyco entered into a definitive merger agreement to create a global leader in building products and technology, energy storage and integrated solutions.
As the first strategic step in preparation for the merger, a joint Integration Management Office (IMO) has been established. This leadership group is responsible for determining how the new Johnson Controls will operate post-merger.
The collective integration team will be responsible for:
Designing the new Johnson Controls – selecting the best of both companies
Ensuring Day One readiness
Delivering revenue and expense synergies across the organizations after the merger
Aligning on an operating model that will position the new company for growth and an improved customer experience
Mike Bartschat, vice president and chief procurement officer for Johnson Controls, will co-lead the Integration Management Office with Tyco’s Bob Roche, senior vice president, Business Finance.
The IMO leaders for key work streams have also been identified as shown below:

In addition, a Go-to-Market Team has also been established to define requirements for organization-facing field operations in the buildings space after the merger. This crucial work group will be co-led by Johnson Controls Building Efficiency President Bill Jackson and Tyco’s Girish Rishi, executive vice president, North America Installation and Services and Tyco Retail Solutions. Trent Nevill from Johnson Controls will also contribute to this project as he works through his transition from vice president, Systems and Service, North America to president, Asia Pacific.
This team will take several weeks to complete work to inform the future organizational design based on customer buying behaviors and marketplace dynamics. The insight resulting from this group will drive many of the integration team’s subsequent steps.
In addition, leaders from both companies are being identified to staff a number of Value Capture Teams that will focus on developing plans for securing the operational synergies of the merger. These assignments will be communicated in the coming weeks as teams begin mobilizing.
