SUMMARY:Communicating Through Change
DESCRIPTION:Effective communication is an essential part of successful business transitions. While not a “magic bullet” for achieving a warm reception and successful post-merger integration\, effective communications throughout the deal process help set stakeholder expectations from the onset\, without which many deals fail. From the first conversation between buyer and seller\, to the eventual post-transaction integration\, poor communication at any stage can derail even the best-intentioned deals\, and hamper long-term success.\nJoin us for Communicating Through Change with Linda Varrell of Broadreach Public Relations\, Sean Sinclair of Baker Newman Noyes\, Jennifer Harnish of Baker Newman Noyes\, and Janey Bishoff of Bishoff Communications. Breakfast will be provided. \nWhat: Communicating Through Change\nWhen: Tuesday\, January 24\, 2017\nWhere: Babson College\nOlin Hall\, Needham-Wellesley Room\n231 Forest Street\, Babson Park\, MA 02457\nTime: 7:15am to 9:00am\nModerator: Linda Varrell\, President of Broadreach Public Relations\nSpeakers: Janey Bishoff\, CEO of Bishoff Communications\nSean Sinclar\, Principal & Chief Operating Officer of Baker Newman Noyes\nJennifer Harnish\, Director of Human Resources at Baker Newman Noyes\nRegistration: Free for XPX New England Members; $75 for Non-Members.
