De-stress Your Business

E163: Navigating Mergers Without the Headache, with Alex Black FCCA


Listen Later

Mergers and acquisitions can spark exciting growth — but they also bring chaos, uncertainty, and a lot of stress.
 
In this episode of De-stress Your Business, we’re joined by Alex Black, Director of Client Services and Innovation at Ad Valorem, a fast-growing accountancy firm now part of the ETL Group.
 
Alex shares how he’s helped teams navigate the stress of change — from integrating cultures and standardising processes, to preparing teams for powerful innovations like AI.
 
You’ll learn:
  • What causes stress during mergers — and how to ease it
  • How to overcome resistance when introducing change
  • Why standardising workflows is critical for innovation
  • What leaders often get wrong about growth and acquisitions
  • This episode is packed with real-world lessons from someone who’s been at the frontline of fast change — and still kept the team engaged, productive, and open to the future.
     
    What’s your approach to handling stress during periods of change? Let us know in the comments!
