Succession Strategy

Find and prepare tomorrow’s leaders today

 

Leadership changes can disrupt your business. Succession planning makes it a smoother transition.

For companies positioning for an ownership transition, clear successors for leadership positions provide an important asset to the owner and to the acquirer.

​

For a business with an eye toward the future, succession planning is neither "one-size-fits-all" nor is it a one-time event. Whether you are executing a carefully developed succession plan or reacting to a sudden leadership departure, Standish Executive Search offers services to support your organization through a leadership transition.

​
