Succession Planning

Make your executive exits a smooth transition,
not a fire drill

Our Succession

Planning Approach:

We meet with your key executives and knowledge leaders and communicate the value of management continuity in a non-threatening way. Nobody is getting displaced. It just makes good business sense to plan for the future and develop up-and-coming leaders.

1. Orientation

We meet with your key executives and knowledge leaders and communicate the value of management continuity in a non-threatening way. Nobody is getting displaced. It just makes good business sense to plan for the future and develop up-and-coming leaders.

2. Institutional Knowledge Catalog

For each of your key positions, Emergent Execs creates a highly detailed profile of that individual’s daily activities, competencies, motivational abilities, industry knowledge, technical expertise, and key relationships.

3. Talent Pool Identification

With the assistance of Human Resources and the executives, Emergent Execs generates a talent pool of succession candidates that potentially match to the executive profiles. Through interviews and psychometric testing, we identify the strengths and gaps of each successor.

4. Successor Development Plan

Emergent Execs customizes a series of critical development experiences for each of the executive positions. These experiences may cover management expertise, industry comprehension, role-specific knowledge, key relationship introductions, and executive polish.
Development plans typically range from 6-12 months.

5. Succession Monitoring

We train your executives to coach their potential successors through the development plans, monitor the process, and provide progress updates to your HR professional.
