AI Literacy For M&A Dealmakers
How dealmakers at every level can learn to lead — and succeed — with AI.
In this episode of The Dealist podcast, we’re joined again by Professor Scott Moeller, founder and director of the M&A Research Centre at Bayes Business School, City, University of London, and former global head of corporate development at Morgan Stanley and Deutsche Bank.
We discuss how artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming mergers and acquisitions (M&A) from the classroom to the boardroom — and how dealmakers at every stage of their career can build AI confidence and capability.
Listen to learn:
- How business schools are embedding AI literacy into M&A education
- Ways junior professionals can balance GenAI tools with human intuition
- How mid-level dealmakers can upskill through training and hands-on experience
- Why senior leaders need humility — and practice — to make AI work for them
- Where AI is headed next: due diligence, negotiation simulations, scenario planning and post-merger integration
