Live Roundtable Discussion with M&A Science
Companies frequently blame culture as a root cause for a failed merger. But, is it fair to blame an unsuccessful M&A integration on culture? Jonathan Shiery, Director at Guidehouse discusses the importance of culture in M&A with fellow M&A experts Kim Jones, Senior HR M&A Manager at Microsoft, Bill Clarkin, Head of Mergers and Acquisitions at BMO Financial Group and Krison Patel, CEO at DealRoom. Discussion topics include defining culture, approaches to integrating cultures, and first-hand experiences from working in the trenches of M&A integration. Watch the full video podcast to learn more.
Key Points from the speakers:
“For the last 30 years, Culture has been one of the Top 3 reasons for M&A deal failures, but is still not a factor into the valuation price of an acquisition.
