Chairmans' Message, January 2016
By Jim Jeffries, Chairman, M&A Leadership Council
Welcome, everyone, to 2016!
The M&A Leadership Council has just completed our first event of the year – The “Art of M&A for HR Leaders” and thanks to our presenting partners, Willis Towers Watson, M&A Partners and Baker & McKenzie, it was a tremendous success. We are now looking forward to our upcoming training sessions for M&A Integration, Due Diligence and Program Management. www.macouncil.org/training-calendar
Today’s “M&A Monthly” is jam-packed with information that you should find interesting and useful. Please pay particular attention to the announcement of our recent certifications. We are only through the first month of the year and we have several M&A executives who have received their CMAS credentials. Congratulations! We have included a related article from Global Knowledge regarding the value of being certified.
Other great articles come from our partners:
- Baker & McKenzie and Mergermarket have teamed up to address the increased volume of cross-border deals
- Mark Herndon, the president of M&A Partners, was recently interviewed by UK-based ContentLive regarding the challenges of so called “Mergers of Equals”… Is there such a thing?
- Willis Towers Watson gives us the breakdown on the record-breaking year M&A had in 2015
- And much more
All of us at the M&A Leadership Council are excited to enter into 2016 with a full schedule of training events delivered by the best organizations in M&A. We look forward to meeting you at one of our beautiful resort venues in the near future.
Very best regards,
