Angel Matombo is an Information System (IS) project
manager facing a difficult situation. Angel works for the
Microfinance CCA, which has recently acquired the
Microfinance Union Express. Prior to the acquisition,
Microfinance CCA and Microfinance Union Express were
bitter rivals, fiercely competing for market share in the region.
Following the rancorous takeover, numerous staff were laid off
in many banking areas, including IS. Key individuals were
retained from both banks’ IS areas, however, and were
assigned to a new consolidated IS department. Angel has
been made project manager for the first significant IS project
since the takeover, and she faces the task of integrating
staffers from both banks on her team. The project they are
undertaking will be highly visible within the organization, and
the time frame for the project is somewhat demanding. Angel
believes that the team can meet the project goals
successfully, but success will require that the team become
cohesive quickly and that potential conflicts are avoided.
What strategies do you suggest that Angel implement in order
to help ensure a successfully functioning project team?
