We are thrilled to announce our CEO’s next book, ‘The M&A Solution: A Values-Based Approach to Integrate Companies,’ is now available for pre-order on Amazon. After the success of his first authorial outing, ‘How to Lead a Values-Based Professional Services Firm: 3 Keys to Unlock Purpose and Profit,’ co-authored with Fran Biderman-Gross, Don takes his core ideas of purpose and values and applies them to the world of Mergers & Acquisitions.
As Don has written about before, many mergers and acquisitions fail because business leaders don’t account for corporate values when planning these kinds of business integration. Though most business leaders understand values to be a crucial part of the process, few of them prioritize cultural combability in their due diligence prior to a merger or acquisition.
In his book, Don explores how to understand and measure values and incorporate them into the plan for an M&A transaction. Don also shares with his readers the benefit of his experience and knowledge when it comes to analyzing values for fit. He offers methods that allow the reader and the brand to focus on corporate values as they begin the journey towards integration and thus mitigate culture-clash risk and increase the odds of succeeding in a transaction where there are two businesses involved.
‘The M&A Solution: A Values-Based Approach to Integrate Companies’ will release this spring and can be purchased today.
