Johnson & Johnson - Merging of McNeil Labs and Ortho Labs

UA's role was to help the leadership of the Robert Wood Johnson Pharmaceutical Research Institute (which cut across both McNeil and Ortho) deal with organizational climate issues and to provide facilitation in a strategic planning process. Prior to working with UA, Johnson & Johnson did not choose to focus much attention in aligning two vastly different cultures and, as a result, had long-term difficulties in this area.

Abbott Laboratories - Santa Clara

(Involving approximately 1,000 employees)
Abbott - Santa Clara is a hematology instrument and re-agent plant that was acquired by Abbott approximately 6 years ago. The senior management team is now comprised of both long-term Abbott employees as well as employees that remained after the acquisition. The current site manager assumed his role in the past year. He is the first career Abbott site manager at this location. Prior to beginning his new role, he was on the senior management team at another Abbott site in Dallas that UA assisted with strategic planning efforts in 1995-1996. UA was brought into the Santa Clara site to help develop a strategic focus and strategic alignment. This effort is moving in a positive direction.

Abbott Laboratories - Puerto Rico Operations

(Involving approximately 4,800 employees)
Abbott - Puerto Rico's complex includes two chemical plants of approximately 600 and 1,000 employees respectively. The complex also includes a pharmaceutical plant with 1,200 employees and a diagnostic re-agent plant with over 2,000 employees. This has been a strategic planning driven project that is affecting a very significant organizational culture change. Historically, Abbott Laboratories has globally divided its corporation into individually managed companies or divisions. The project in Puerto Rico is bringing about alignment and integration in many core functions across division lines. As a first for Abbott, this should derive significant economies. This project is progressing extremely well and has the attention of Abbott Corporate in the Chicago area.
