Leading Mergers and Post Merger Integration Teams

Many mergers and acquisitions fail not because of the deal itself but because of poor leadership after the papers are signed. This course prepares leaders to guide people through the uncertainty of combining two organisations. With attention to the cultural and human realities of African business, participants learn to integrate teams, retain key talent, and deliver the value the deal promised.
