NOW WHAT? A Survivor’s Guide for Thriving Through Mergers & Acquisitions

Day 1 Ready M&A Consultancy
- Identify leadership traits necessary to lead teams through change and uncertainty.
- Describe the behavior and personality changes that emerge when fear is the operative emotion.
An M&A deal doesn’t just change the business... It changes the story for the people within it...
My work is about changing that story for the better. M&A can be an exciting, profitable, and positive arrangement. But when the people piece isn’t addressed, their mission - along with their job motivation - is hijacked and replaced with debilitating questions: Do I still have a job? What is my role? Will my team stay together? Are my projects still relevant? Am I still relevant? All people work better with their chins up and their backs straight. So the real question is - How do we execute an M&A deal that doesn’t bring them to their knees?
THIS GLOBAL ROUNDTABLE IS OPEN TO ALL HR M&A PRACTITIONERS.
We host global roundtables the 2nd Tuesday of every month.

Past topics have included leadership retention, culture assessment, global deals, and total rewards alignment.
