The right succession plan is crucial for every executive in every organization. Incredibly, most organizations either don’t have a succession plan, or the plan in place amounts to a few stray ideas on the back of a napkin sealed with a fervent handshake. Succession plans might be started over dinner but shouldn’t be finished by dessert.
It’s not overstating it to say the company’s future is at stake when developing succession plans. To help tackle this thorny challenge, we have partnered with True Search, a premier executive search firm powered by a robust, data-driven platform. Together with our industry-leading assessments and our deep expertise in succession management, we leverage the extensive datasets of both companies to meticulously and consistently evaluate candidates who can succeed a current executive—whether they are sourced internally or externally.
