With over 35 years in the field, Jennifer joins us to champion the crucial role of emotional intelligence in M&amp;amp;A. We tackle the pressing questions about preparing for M&amp;amp;A changes, ensuring stakeholder readiness, and the importance of cultural discussions before integrating new co-employees. Other key topics include the importance of payroll representation in decision-making, the utility of an M&amp;amp;A playbook, and the vital role of project management in these processes.&amp;nbsp; Want to get involved in the conversation?
