When a business owner, or similar leadership role, is planning their retirement, putting a clear structure in place can help ease the transition. Often, the replacement comes from within but there are many options to consider. Our team can help your business craft an executable action plan for replacing key leadership positions, as well as advising on how to identify and prepare an internal replacement.
