Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep188: The Co-op for Co-ops Pooling Talent Management Demand | Kalese Sheldahl, ACES
Q: How do you think about the balance? Because you guys are doing a lot of work that directly can either reinforce or can undermine culture.
Sheldahl says culture must be created internally, but ACES can provide tools, feedback cycles, development opportunities, and best-practice frameworks. She gives engagement surveys and shared communication language as examples, emphasizing that the organization must act on the tools for them to support culture.
Ep188: The Co-op for Co-ops Pooling Talent Management Demand | Kalese Sheldahl, ACES
Q: How do you all manage that to make sure that your members know and trust and feel that when they're trying to get something done, fill a critical role, get a job posted to different channels, get particular candidates through the screening process so we can start talking to them in interviews, whatever it might be, that they know and trust and feel that the folks in ACES are operating the same urgency that you would within your own local co-op?
Sheldahl says ACES aims to treat member priorities as its own, while many services are delivered by the co-op's HR team. ACES can negotiate vendor access and manage relationships without removing members' flexibility or control.
Ep185: Built for this Moment | Neal Horrom, Mercer-Landmark
Q: What was the experience like for you and what have you learned in the process?
Neal describes navigating a failed merger vote by reaffirming growth goals, redefining leadership roles, and accelerating collaboration across business units to pursue the same strategic objectives with a unified approach.
Ep161: M&A Feasibility, Story Telling, and Value Creation | Marijn Hendrickx, Verdant Partners
Q: What are the key differences between sell-side and buy-side M&A in practice?
Sell-side focuses on optimizing the exit and achieving the best price for the seller, often driven by owner desires, while buy-side requires deeper analysis of strategic opportunities, market position, and the financing capacity to execute an acquisition, including evaluating potential targets and the necessary capital structures.
Ep161: M&A Feasibility, Story Telling, and Value Creation | Marijn Hendrickx, Verdant Partners
Q: How is value created in M&A within the agribusiness context, and what role does a robust market evaluation play?
Value is created by ensuring that M&A is additive to the company's strategy, not a standalone tactic. A robust market evaluation tests feasibility, identifies viable targets, clarifies ownership and governance realities, and aligns expectations with market realities—ultimately guiding whether a deal should proceed and under what terms.
