Mercer M&A Ready Academy

Gain real-world insights and learn the business, financial and people drivers associated with deal success to become an M&A leader.

Get ready for your next deal with M&A training

Mergers and acquisitions (M&A) can be critical to an organization’s growth strategy. Given the intense competition in the market and growing shareholder expectations, getting your M&A strategy right requires a strong understanding of the business, financial and people risks and opportunities associated with deals.  

Mercer’s M&A Ready Academy is a training and development curriculum that brings together Mercer’s unique, in-depth insights on the people risks in deals while providing an overview of the entire business and functional deal spectrum. 

Whether you are new to M&As or have managed them before, the Academy’s basic training curriculum — designed for corporate development and HR professionals, business and people managers, and beyond — is offered as a modular, digital, on-demand course supplemented with regular, synchronous deep-dive masterclass sessions from Mercer’s M&A experts on critical topics. 

Prepare for deal success with M&A training courses

Enrolling in the Mercer M&A Ready Academy gets you access to an online, on-demand training course that covers the basics of deals, starting with M&A strategy, target identification and due diligence through post-close integration — spanning the entire scope of deal areas within an organization.  
For the past 20 years, over 3,500 business leaders and deal professionals have graduated from Mercer’s M&A Ready program. We’ve helped teams of all sizes prepare more confidently and comprehensively to meet their M&A-related challenges and drive deal value. This year we are excited to offer this program through our new M&A Ready Academy.
