Back to Basics Podcast 10: Leading Integration from the Front

Congratulations – you’re now responsible for integrating the new acquisition, and therefore delivering the benefits of the deal. You’ve been given an integration Manager and team to support you, but ultimately you’re on the hook. If we closely track the project plan and manage the work efficiently, everything will work out fine; after all, leading and managing are just two words meaning the same thing, right? In this, the final in our Back to Basics podcast series, Diana Chiang and Nick Palmer join Carlos Keener to provide BTD’s thoughts and experience on why leading the deal and integration – and more importantly, doing so from the front – is central to any successful delivery of lasting value from M&A. The team also offers their own practical tips to help senior executives lead a business and its people through the complexity, ambiguity, and downright fear that often faces them beyond the deal.CLICK HERE to follow us on LinkedInwww.btd.consulting
