The Human Value Gap In M&A: Why Culture and Talent Drive Deal Value

M&A deals rarely fail because leaders underestimate the importance of culture. They fail because the dealmaking process is structured to overlook it.

• Why the M&A process is structurally designed to overlook culture and the deal value it leaves on the table
