Fondrevay, an M&A expert who has led teams and brands through three separate multibillion-dollar acquisitions, reveals that these transitions are as stressful as a major loss or moving to another country.

Based on 60 interviews with M&A integration survivors and practitioners, NOW WHAT?:Explains the drivers behind M&A so that you can anticipate what’s coming and start to appreciate where the opportunities might be.Exposes the post-deal experience for what it is: a journey from denial to acceptance through the M&A stages of grief.Identifies the “cast of change” characters (e.g., the Former Rock Star, the Black Widow, etc.) and how to engage them.Helps you construct a total “survive and thrive” game plan for cultivating the right mindset, collaborating with the “other side,” and finding your niche to succeed.NOW WHAT? helps anybody in the middle of it all, from C-suite executives to team leaders and players, come out stronger on the other side to help their companies do the same. ********Jennifer J Fondrevay is the Founder and Chief Humanity Officer of Day1 Ready™, a consultancy that advises forward-thinking business leaders, owners, entrepreneurs and C-Suite executives on how to prepare for the human capital challenges of M&A.
