CEO TransitionS

Moving up, into and out of the C-Suite

CEO transitions exist on a wide spectrum, ranging from public failures that destabilize an organization to seamless, highly successful handoffs that bridge the company into a new future. The value of engaging us as your guide is to ensure your transition lands on the high end of that spectrum.

When we work with a client, our singular goal is to ensure the CEO transition is a success and that both the leaders and the business achieve ongoing momentum. We select our clients based on culture fit, ensuring a shared commitment to values-centric leadership. Many of our clients have achieved such significant success through this process that they have opted to showcase their results at industry events.

Our key differentiation lies in our deep experience and a highly refined methodology developed through years of experience, research and interviews with transitioning leaders. We guide you through the complexities of the process, ensuring all stakeholders remain aligned and that your personal needs are anticipated.

A Comprehensive Transition Toolkit

We apply a refined set of tools designed to support the entire lifecycle of the change:

• Candidate Grooming and Selection: Identifying and championing the future CEO in a way that honors the culture and drives the business forward.

• Alignment and Change Management: Acting as a "Transition Maestro" to facilitate difficult conversations and maintain objectivity among the Board and executive team.

• Reimagined Performance Reviews: Moving away from awkward, political reviews toward a mission-driven partnership that uses clear benchmarks to measure what matters most.

• Strategic Personal Design: Helping the outgoing leader apply their strategic mindset to their own life, ensuring they are ready to empower the next generation.
