The Complete Video Series on Planning a Merger Integration

With an estimated 50-80% of mergers failing in the current economic climate, it is important ensure every tactic, strategy, and precaution is employed to avoid risky derailments.

As a result, we have offered several webinars featuring leading M&A integration specialist Danny A. Davis of DD Consulting. In the three webinars, available below, Davis comprehensively discusses the various aspects of successfully planning and executing a merger.

He will briefly cover all aspects of M&A integration, including but not limited to: strategy, mobilization, governance and control, HR/culture, finance, IT, sales & marketing, and customers.
