Jabian Consulting recently completed a survey of 159 North American M&A professionals to gain insight into the stumbling blocks as well as paths to success to completing the merger and acquisition process effectively. The survey results painted an interesting picture about self-perception; when asked to assess their performance in key areas like planning, cultural integration and HR planning, everyone surveyed ranked themselves way better than they said everyone else was doing. Brian Betkowski, co-founder and partner at Jabian, sat down with Consulting to discuss the survey's findings and the ironic disconnect that sometimes exists between what needs to get done and how to get there.
