An acquisition transfers ownership. It does not transfer commitment. Are you an HR or integration leader trying to protect the value your organisation paid for? Then join us for this 30-minute session, where we share a real case and practical approaches for how to ensure day one readiness and a strong first 100 days.


At this event, we'll share what it takes to move the people agenda from a supporting workstream to a decision-shaping voice to avoid acquisition value quietly leaking between signing and day one.


We'll deep dive on:

  • The integration zipper model – an effective approach for driving integrations with impact
  • A real-life case that shows it in action
  • Key takeaways you can bring straight into your next deal


What to expect


We open with our perspective on how to run the people side of acquisitions:

  • Where acquisition value is actually created – and lost – in the people workstream
  • Sequencing the people workstream by what threatens synergy realisation, what carries value, and what can be postponed

All of it illustrated through a real-life example
