ACG's monthly member luncheons are the one meeting per month where you can efficiently network with Cincinnati's transaction ecosystem. Attendance typically includes 100+ accountants, attorneys, bankers, consultants, investment bankers and various sources of capital from family offices to mezz debt to PE. Topics are focused exclusively on some aspect of deal-making, often from business owners and corporate management who have completed successful deals driving corporate growth.
Events are held at the Queen City Club in Cincinnati.
Join us from 10:30 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. for pre-program networking, followed by lunch and the program beginning at 12:00 p.m.
Most deals don't fail on structure, they fail on the human dynamics no one underwrote. This panel explores the hidden behavioral forces (decision authority, informal power, cultural fault lines) that determine whether a transaction delivers its projected value. In this conversation, we'll make the case for treating behavior as a diligence variable—measurable, predictable, and tied directly to ROI, not a soft add-on. Panelists will unpack where these dynamics typically surface across the deal lifecycle, and what sponsors, counsel, and advisors can do to protect value before close and through the hold.
