Mergers and acquisitions (M&A) is a high-growth and high-return albeit high-risk strategy. It is difficult to get right and therefore requires complete alignment of purpose, process and people. This one-day masterclass offers board directors strategic insights to navigate the complexities of M&A projects. Corporate directors can learn how to fulfil their board duties and provide the most appropriate level of governance and guidance to their executive teams in this undertaking.
This session will cover:
• M&A strategy, process and critical success factors.
• Effective board governance in overseeing M&A activities.
• Best practices for planning and achieving maximum deal value.
• Strategies for preparing and managing personnel performance throughout the transaction.
• Due diligence from financial to HR considerations.
