Succession is a complex and essential firm process that when done well, can lead to win-win outcomes for all stakeholders involved. In this session, we will explore holistically the mechanics that drive a successful transition of leadership and ownership. When viewed as a one-time/short-term event, succession will fail. A successful succession is the result of a long-term process. Therefore it’s important to understand what to expect in this process and what value creation is possible for your firm. An approach that brings together strategy, people & culture and finances creates the strongest conditions for continuity in the ways that matter. Lastly, succession is not only a distant development in the future, but instead a vital component to a firm's success in the present.
Discuss the benefits of taking a strategic approach to integrating succession and transfer of shares with other elements of the Business Strategy.
Identify the steps needed to achieve desired succession outcomes and results.
Recognize what internal and external buyers look for when exploring a purchase or investment.
Describe direct and in-direct challenges a firm may encounter if a succession strategy is not in place.
