“Organizations are now doing M&A because they have to in order to maintain a competitive edge, and it’s not about cost savings, it's about revenue and it’s about changing their business models and they're using M&A to transform what they do.” - Toby Tester

This podcast follows Toby’s article, Driving Transformation Through M&A, in which he discusses the trend of transformational M&A, how it differs from traditional and transactional deals, and how to best manage transformation for long-term value and growth. 

Kison and Toby cover why this trend is occurring, how it’s becoming necessary for organizations to remain competitive, and how to align practitioners around this growing trend. They also discuss the important role risk management plays in this transformational form of M&A.
