Agenda:

Mergers and acquisitions (M&As) are used by companies in all industries to enhance their productivity and competiveness by expanding operations and product or service offerings. The importance of project management is critical to M&A processes, both as part of the due diligence and integration efforts. Effective M&A project management not only helps organizations achieve set milestones, but also to clearly measure and report progress against desired M&A performance goals. This session will discuss the phases of the M&A process, the project management best practices during each phase, and how to avoid the common project management problems that can be associated with each phase of a merger or acquisition.
