BTD: Making Sense of M&A, Alliances and Divestments

Success in alliances and acquisitions is rare. Top executives focus – what, where and when. Developing such focus can take decades of trial, and error. Your company can ill afford errors. They delay benefits and divert resources. Value-Inflection Points (VIPs) capture and systematize the experts’ ability to focus on what matters. They increase value, accelerate success, optimize investment and develop leaders. VIPs are now foundational at several dozen major pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, as well as industries from mining to software development. BTD is launching a 6-part podcast series to help executives find the moments that matter. In this podcast, join David S. Thompson [https://www.linkedin.com/in/david-thompson-723b8855/], Global Head of Alliance Management at BeiGene Pharmaceuticals and HBR author, Tim O’Connor [https://www.linkedin.com/in/tim-o-connor-5628024/], Group Exploration Officer at BHP, and Dr. Victoria Dalton [https://www.linkedin.com/in/vickie-dalton-71465920/], internationally renowned executive coach. Along with your host, BTD Partner Nick Palmer [https://www.linkedin.com/in/nick-palmer-b8b72/], these VIP experts help you to understand and capitalize on VIPs in your companies.
