In this episode, Jenni tackles mergers and acquisitions, the differences between the two, the risk inherent in lumping the two terms together and, when it comes to communication and culture, how easily organisations can spiral into chaos.
Find out what this chaos can look like, where things can go wrong, and five key pieces of advice to help create calm when surrounded by so much change.
