More than 50% of mergers and acquisitions fail to achieve their goals, not because of external forces, but because of failures in managing people and processes through an efficient, productive integration. Cornell University's Industrial and Labor Relations School has engaged Robert H. Schaffer & Associates and PPL Logic to present a workshop that will guide HR leaders to avoid the pitfalls and seize the opportunity that integration offers.

Cornell University presents

M&A: HR and Organizational Growth Strategy, a “Seat-at-the-table”

Presenters:
Suzanne Francis, Managing Partner, Robert H. Schaffer & Associates
Cynthia Maltbie, Principal, PPL Logic.

The focus of this session will be on HR’s role in identifying/selecting target organizations; contributing to all aspects of the due-diligence dialogue; building a sustainable integration process and structuring a high performing integration effort customized to the acquirer’s culture, strategic objectives and financial goals. Participants leave this workshop with a “playbook” for their business.

Key Topics

• Establish stretch goals for merger or acquisition
• Oversee crafting of pre-close, close and post-close integration plans
