ATD CPTD Question Answer

Two manufacturing companies in different cities—Company A and Company B—have recently undergone a merger but will continue operating separately for the immediate future. Company B did not have a talent development (TD) department, so the TD professional who reported to the chief executive officer (CEO) of Company A before the merger will now report to the CEOs of both companies. The TD professional is asked by the CEO of Company A to put together a team-building program to get the employees from both companies to work well together.

What should the TD professional do?

Design and conduct a team-building activity at a neutral site.

Prepare a needs analysis that includes employees from both companies.

Issue a letter to employees from both companies indicating the need to work better together.

Consult with the CEO of Company B about the path forward.
