Jennifer Fondrevay on the Human Side of M&A (Rebroadcast)

Jennifer Fondrevay, founder and chief humanity officer of Day1 Ready, describes her research into why so many mergers and acquisitions fail, and how acquirers and investors can address workforce considerations earlier in the M&A process. Fondrevay has interviewed a number of C-level leaders, HR professionals and PE investors, and she's written on the topic for Harvard Business Review. In late 2019, Fondrevay published her book, "NOW WHAT?: A Survivor's Guide for Thriving Through Mergers & Acquisitions," currently available for order on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/NOW-WHAT-Survivors-Thriving-Acquisitions-ebook/dp/B07ZQ7SXDP This episode was first broadcast in August 2018.
