I don’t know about you, but I’m looking forward to the new year already.   2013 has been a great year for the Leadership Council and our partner companies, but we could all use a little more growth in M&A, stabilization of the financial markets, economic growth and yes, world peace!  Right?  The M&A Leadership Council has great plans for next year as we continue to grow in knowledge and synchronize our training programs to serve all levels and stages of the M&A lifecycle.

The M&A community have been afforded a great opportunity to learn from the best and brightest firms in the business, who are speaking in one voice through the Council.  It is no wonder that the Art of M&A series of workshops is the highest rated training in the field of M&A.  We have had attendees from all over the world attend our sessions and we thank you.

There are only two workshops remaining this year:

  •  The Art of M&A Due Diligence - Orlando
  •  The Art of M&A Integration - Scottsdale

In 2014 we have planned 12 workshops in North America:

  • The Art of M&A Integration (4x) Featuring: M&A Partners, Mercer, Baker & McKenzie and Cognizant
  • The Art of Due Diligence (3x) Featuring: Crowe Horwath, M&A Partners, Mercer
  • The Art of IT Integration (3x) Featuring: Cognizant, M&A Partners
  • The Art of Cross Border M&A (2x) Featuring Baker&McKenzie and Mercer

I’m pleased to announce that the M&A Leadership Council has recently appointed an Executive Committee.  This committee is made up of one member from each of our presenting firms, Jack Prouty and myself:

MALC Executive Committee

The responsibilities for the new Executive Committee will be governance over our training programs with a focus on surfacing new practices, content and quality.  The Committee will help to formulate the global strategy for growth in the coming years.  And, it will formulate our newest offering of private C-Level briefings on the Art of M&A.  My personal appreciation goes to each committee member who is voluntarily expending valuable time and effort to help improve the outcomes for all of us in mergers and acquisitions.

Thank you,

Jim
