Succession Planning
We provide support to ensure that your most senior and sensitive appointments are successful for all stakeholders. From planning succession and preparing the path for internal candidates, to assessing external candidates who are new to you, we partner with you all along the way.
Where things can go wrong
Senior appointments can misfire in many ways. Vulnerable points include:
- Whether there is sufficient attention to the creation of the role specification
- How well the appointment panel are aligned and facilitated
- How the search firm is selected and managed
- The level of rigour and insight in the candidate assessments
- The thoroughness of referencing
- How the candidates are shepherded through the process
- How the successful candidate is prepared for their new appointment
Having personally led hundreds of appointments, we know where things can go wrong. We can help you reduce the risk and pressure in what can be an intense period making a pivotal decision.
