About this title

Synopsis

Over 70% of all mergers and acquisitions are doomed to fail according to Harvard Business Review. When deals fail, they destroy billions of dollars in value, affecting companies, employees, retirees, and communities. Over a quarter of business leaders say avoidable problems with people, leadership, and culture are the primary cause of deal failure. This means the key to a successful M&A requires you to uncover significant people issues before it’s too late!

The HR Practitioner’s Guide to Mergers & Acquisitions Due Diligence shows you how to avoid the HR headaches that arise in M&A—and make your deals more likely to beat the odds.

In this step-by-step guide, Dr. Klint Kendrick, who has personally led dozens of deals and is Chair of the HR M&A Roundtable, provides practical teachings, tools, and techniques to help you understand:

• How people, leadership, and culture issues will determine if your M&A is a success or failure
• The six vital areas HR must explore for your due diligence efforts to make a difference
• Eight powerful methods for extracting critical data from the information ecosystem so you can uncover problems earlier
• Four fundamental ways to mitigate the HR risks that will doom your deal to failure if they’re not addressed
• A no-nonsense approach to assessing and retaining top talent during M&A, ensuring business continuity and maximizing value capture.

Overflowing with real-life examples and actionable tools and templates, this practical book helps you tackle the most vexing people issues that arise during business sales and acquisitions.
