COVID-19 has altered the economic landscape beyond ordinary predictions or comprehension. With an imminent deep global recession and numerous unknowns, organisations in Asia are tackling complicated change management challenges. COVID-19 is clearly a Black Swan event, forcing companies to take a sharper view on strategy and growth potential against the backdrop of uncertainties. The emergence of distress assets and under-valued businesses has certainly accelerated Merger & Acquisitions (M&A) as a possible anti-fragile strategy to pivot into the new norm, among others.
This Webinar will help companies and leaders to understand
- Current M&A landscape and challenges
- M&A strategies and considerations to thrive in the new world
- Drivers for the new norm and development of a new paradigm to be ‘future-ready’
- "Move the Needle" considerations in the new norm
The 40-minute webinar will be followed by a 20-minute Q&A with the speakers.
Details on how to join this webinar will be sent via email within 24 hours of the webinar start time.
