CEO Succession
Highly experienced at supporting directors through CEO Succession
WHAT WE DO
The bulk of our services in this area are in CEO succession planning, alongside other with with key C-suite and board appointments.
It is often said that appointing a CEO is the most important decision a board will ever make. Being well-prepared for any Chief Executive transition is a vital focus for any board and we are highly experienced at supporting directors through these processes.
Our efforts on behalf of boards can tilt towards internal succession planning or towards the external market, depending on the circumstances.
Typically, deep assessment of leadership capability in the organisation against a Chief Executive job description for the future will be the starting point of any exercise. The board can then progress knowing the "bench-strength" within the business. Being aware of who is in the external market is also critical, a market map will include who might be ready now, versus in a few years.
100% Stick Rate
Managing this process with the board is a team effort, involves us partnering very closely and working as trusted advisors on the journey. This journey can be anything from a few months to a couple of years.
Working as your talent partner, we are able to balance these imperatives of nurturing and understanding the internal talent pool whilst simultaneously giving the board maximum possible visibility as to who externally would be capable of taking on the role.
