Succession Advice Built From Experience

There is no single perfect solution for succession and there is an incredible difference between contractors in how effectively they manage the succession process.  We have brought together the most relevant principles, strategies, tactics, and tools based on:

• Our individual experiences in the field and as contractors

We work through these with our clients.  This is just not the focus of this training.  

The value of training cannot be measured by cost alone.  It must be measured by the impact it has on your team and ultimately, the results produced.  Depending on your situation, private training tailored specifically for your company may have the best return.

• Development of a multi-part training program to accelerate development of your team.

Cost varies based on the level of tailoring, location, and scheduling.  Please schedule a conversation to see if private training could be the best option for your company.
