    Alexandros,

    By way of introduction, I am Anthony Casablanca, and I am serving as one of several facilitators for this new and exciting community.

    I just wanted to thank you for posting the article.  I happen to agree with the conclusions and believe that, at some level, all change management projects fall into the event versus process trap.

    I look forward to seeing your name pop up from time to time as our community becomes more active and engaged.

    This article struck a chord with me @Alexandros Tzimpilis! It also got me wondering, who else has experienced a failed merger and why? What did you learn or do differently for the next one? Or - the merger was a success (meaning it went through) but the company experienced some backlash either from the industry, their employees, etc. 

    As Warren Buffet says, "It's good to learn from your mistakes. It's better to learn from other people's mistakes!"

    This quote is so true Dawn!  "It's good to learn from your mistakes. It's better to learn from other people's mistakes!"

    Anytime I see change professionals (anyone, really) discussing M&A, I immediately want to share the expertise of my friend, fellow speaker/author Jennifer Fondrevay. Lots of lessons in her book, "Now What? A Survivor's Guide for Thriving Through Mergers & Acquisitions." Some videos here in case interested in what she has to say/share.

    These are some great resources @Robert Snyder! Jennifer clearly has a people centered approach, with tons of guidance on how to keep them top of mind to help ensure a successful merger. I will certainly tap into these for future M&A's - thanks so much for sharing!
