"Corporate and investor needs for profits are being met with painful cost cutting and a blind adoption of outsourcing. Our organizations look for successes and advantages onshore, offshore and, in fact, "anyshore." We struggle for change, success, and sustainability, but we persistently underestimate and misalign the resources, skills, and efforts needed. The changes based in the fundamentals of realignments and innovations have been lost, and as a result, so has our collective ability to sustain the initiatives. We've lost our innovative abilities.

"Innovative Relevance" is not just about increases in productivity, loss of domestic jobs, cultural differences, cash flow, and most recently the certification of our financial statements. It also addresses the focused utilization of multiple disciplines that are seldom practiced today--ethics, integrity, passion, and consistency.

"Innovative Relevance" represents the pragmatic prescription for globalized workforces and operations. It creates the sustainable, repeatable, and measurable roadmap for change. Without relevance, many an approach or set of facts will suffice."

'Mark Dangelo's insight and pragmatic advice make this book a must read to all involved in an M&A. He brings clear visibility to the underlying causes of the disappointments so rampant in failing to meet pre-deal expectations. His guidance takes the mystique out of the M&A equation and delivers actionable insights for success.' - W. Bruce Newcome GM & CTO Theoris, Inc. 'As in other industries, mergers and acquisitions are a fact of life for the mortgage industry. But they don't work just because someone went shopping. Mark Dangelo's little book is one acquirers, acquirees and M&A teams should carry around in their back pockets to deal proactively with the challenges and opportunities brought by the new marriage.' - Scott Kersnar Editor Mortgage Technology Magazine 'Tomorrow's post-deal challenges bring far different struggles from those that we face today. Having been involved with more than one significant post-deal environment, I only wish I could have referenced this outstanding 'playbook' for the valuable insight that it holds. This book will be referenced by integration teams worldwide for years to come.' -Stephen L. Furry Managing Partner S.L.Furry & Associates Former Senio
