SUCCESSION PLANNING

Boards and CEOs are increasingly expected to take a pro-active approach to managing senior-level succession planning, whether for a single role or a wider team.

We work with our clients to identify the key challenges for their organisation and the role(s) and, in that context, the skills and experiences that will be needed by their next generation of senior leaders. This can include advising on organisational or role design, advising on market norms or the latest innovations.

We then research the external market, our reputation for discretion enabling us to meet candidates on a general basis to maintain complete confidentiality, and  give our clients a rich sense of the very best external talent and a realistic sense of their interest, availability and cost.

In parallel, we can also assess the leading internal succession candidates, using our knowledge of the external market as a benchmark, identifying strengths, outlining key areas for development, and making recommendations for future appointments.

Our clients therefore have insights into both the very best of the external market and how their internal talent benchmarks against it with no risk of external market noise
