QJ & Partners
Because of secrecy, tight timelines, financial or perceptual biases, the human aspect of transactions is often neglected in M&A. As a result, a significant portion of transactions fail to meet their initial financial objectives.
However, human assets are by far the most valuable resources any company can possess. To maximize value creation, it is essential to identify and proactively mitigate the risks within the target organization's human capital.
This is where we come in.
