In this The Edge article, Jim Houston, vice president general manager, Eastern Operations, U.S. Residential/Commercial Services and Commercial Landscape Services shares what goes into a successful acquisition transition.

While it can be an effective growth strategy to bring in new talent and strengthen your existing market position, communicating this change properly with your team before and after an acquisition is crucial.
