According to HBR, 60% of significant mergers destroy shareholder value. Another study found that 83% of deals were unsuccessful in producing any palpable business value (KPMG).  

If you're a software engineering business leader, CEO, or divisional leader of an organization, you'll enjoy listening to my conversation with my returning guest, Pallavi Hanson, who provides tools you can use immediately to help implement employee engagement, scaling, and profitability post-merger.  

Pallavi is a resilient leader with a proven track record for reducing costs and maximizing revenues. She leads her teams to drive the flawless and on-time execution of products that delight Fortune 500 customers, thrill employees, and keep investors happy. She serves as a trusted C-Level partner while spearheading tricky post-merger integrations. She has mastered migrating legacy technology applications to modern, cloud-first architectures. 

Join the Get Hired Up Podcast to hear Pallavi and me discuss:  

• Fortifying efficient teams post-merger 
• Rapidly developing and bringing products to market 
• How to strengthen employee engagement 
• And more 

According to Pallavi: 

“They say time is money. But Money can be earned back, and time can’t be.

Communication, accountability, ownership, and clarity are imperative for the integration to go smoothly.

Additionally, care for your people. A lot of care, listening, and understanding of concerns is important. People want to thrive, they want to give their all and this happens when they know what they're doing, that they are heard, and the impact their work has on the overall goals of the organization. If they understand that, they're much more invested.”

Here is a photo of me (Maureen Farmer—CEO and Founder) in Grand Turk Cockburn Town this past week. It was a gorgeous day and I got to experience the local culture visiting my sister and her husband who have a beautiful property on the North Creek. My brother-in-law has family history here dating back to 1959. Since visiting, I've been learning about the history of Turks and Caicos. It's been an unforgettable trip.

Where have you traveled to that left a lasting impression?
