      CEO Succession

      Sustaining organizational performance is vital and never more at risk than when a CEO departs

      The risks faced by organizations and shareholders when a CEO departs are significant. Yet most businesses fail to adequately plan for this.

      Our CEO team provide organizations with the tools to create an effective and reliable succession strategy. We work closely with Chair’s and Boards to identify individuals – both internal and external - with the skills to fulfill the organization’s ambitions and mitigate the risks.

      When it proves impossible to plan ahead, and recruiting externally is the only option, our CEO team has the resources and hard-won experience to quickly identify and attract potential candidates from around the world.

      Through the assessment and development of internal and external candidates, we help our clients navigate this most delicate transition safely and speedily.
