Talent and Succession Planning

At Pivot & Pace, we believe that true succession planning is about empowering a business to operate independently of its owner – but then hasn’t this always been the dream?

Our team of experienced business consultants and strategic advisors will walk alongside you, supporting your business leadership as you go through this challenging business progression.

We’ll work with you to determine where you are in your business lifecycle and understand your readiness, preparedness, desired timeframe and what you consider the broad options to be, from sale to growth, mergers, acquisitions and CEO/MD/GM appointments.

Navigate Business Succession through Change Management

Regardless of whether you are selling or just exiting yourself from the daily business, the uncertainty and emotional charge of a transition of leadership can be the greatest challenge your business will face. We’ll work with you to:

• Develop potential leaders within the business for future succession

• Develop the leader’s personal plan for exit

• Create space for and promote the new leader, allowing them to lead the business and create new momentum

• If retaining ownership, guide the set up and implementation of an effective governance framework

Build a Succession Plan

We’ll help you to:

• Develop a vision and strategy that best positions the business past your succession
