Succession Planning
for Family-owned Organizations
Planning your organization’s next generation of leaders can be more challenging than expected – even when you have eager replacements waiting to take on the role.
Regardless of whether you are developing internal talent or planning to do a broader search, today’s rapidly evolving business climate can be unforgiving and bad choices don’t go without consequences.
What can go wrong? Family-run businesses that bring in non-family for executive roles often lose them within the first year which can be disruptive and costly. Family-run businesses that hire internal candidates (family or non-family) can see such decisions go awry over unresolved family issues or misalignment between a candidate’s skills and the demands of the role. Taking the time to undergo careful succession planning with the objectivity of a third-party consultant is key to avoiding expense and disruption. The ExeQfind Group has extensive expertise in navigating sensitive family business dynamics and our services are designed to set the stage for a successful outcome. We will work with you to assess what’s working, what’s needed, and defining the role, goals and accountabilities in the desired hire. Engaging our consultants in succession planning and the subsequent search process to ensure your family business thrives into the next generation of evolution.
