Make a Plan

The entire process of succession planning is designed so that at the end of each meeting and analysis, we are able to move forward a step with the overall end plan of your succession.

Which leads us to our next point…

Time It Out

One of the subjects that we cover most often is time. Succession planning is a very tedious project to take on because it does require so much attention to details. Because you’re going to want this plan to be as accurate as possible, make sure that you consider when you want to start planning your succession so that you have ample time to fix any hiccups along the way and get it to a place where you are comfortable with the plan that you’ve created.

Too often individuals leave their succession until the last minute, and we are then stuck scrambling so that we can provide our best, however, our best is not based on a quick time frame.
