You see the Wall Street Journal headlines... You think it's cool.
But what is M&A, really?
Introducing The M&A Sprint brought to you by the Chief of Staff Network and the BizOps Network.
What is it? A 4-workshop sprint that will give you the learnings, resources, and community to level-up your M&A knowledge.
Why does it matter? Well, your company may look to acquire another company to grow. You may be thrown into a new business situation because of M&A and unsure what to do. You may want to take on a new project or new role at your company. And many other reasons because life in BizOps or as a CoS is unpredictable.
After this Sprint, you will be ready!
