Succession Planning
Succession decisions are stronger when internal candidates are calibrated against the market they will be judged by.
All services
We support boards and nomination committees with emergency and planned succession: defining the future role rather than the current one, assessing internal successors objectively, and identifying the external benchmark population.
The work is deliberately separable from a live search, so a board can plan without triggering a process it has not decided to run.
What the engagement covers
- Emergency and planned succession frameworks
- Future-state role definition
- Objective internal candidate assessment
- External benchmark population
- Readiness, development and gap analysis
- Board-ready written recommendations
Methodology
Every mandate follows our twelve-stage process, from mandate definition to a formal review six months after appointment.
