It’s never too early to start succession planning. Evolve Partner Group consultants have been assisting organizations with succession readiness for over twenty years. We know that early planning leads to smoother transitions and better business results. Here’s why:
Succession Readiness
- Succession readiness prepares individuals and organizations for the successful, orderly transition of leadership and management responsibilities. It will immediately strengthen your business and prepare your current leaders for planned and unplanned role changes in the future.
- For your business, a succession readiness assessment clarifies where you’re at and details the steps you need to take to ensure business continuity. Implementation may involve building a common vision, confirming a strategic plan, identifying leadership needs, drafting a management succession plan, strengthening governance, and/or managing conflict.
- For current leaders, succession readiness includes developing a personal transition plan, evaluating timing, receiving coaching, and accepting an evolving role in the business. It also involves identifying, evaluating, and mentoring successors.
- For prospective successors, succession readiness means cultivating leadership skills and gaining relevant experience. Implementation often involves individual and team development, including mentoring, a progressive career path, and systematic feedback.
- For your culture, succession readiness acknowledges that "the ways things work around here" is critical to success. Are the next successors a culture fit? How will the business prepare for and adapt to the inevitable changes resulting from leadership and management transitions? Implementation may involve organizational restructuring, targeted communications and culture identification.
Leadership Development
In today’s rapidly changing business landscape, do your current and prospective leaders have the skills they need to bring your company to the next level? Evolve Partner Group offers leadership assessments to ensure you have the right people in the right roles.
First we assess your team’s leadership competencies and then we develop individual development plans for each person. Our assessments range from specific measurements of how a person’s skills match to a position, such as CFO, to a 360° survey so you can better understand an executive’s ability to influence and work with others.
Strategic Business Planning
Your organization’s success depends on consistent, solid planning. Evolve Partner Group's strategic planning support enables you and your team to confirm the business’s vision, mission, core values, strategic priorities, target markets, and products/services. These decisions lead to a clear business plan drafted with goals and objectives that drive accountability and produce measurable results.
Executive Coaching
To build a world-class organization, you need leaders who know how to leverage their strengths and influence others. Evolve Partner Group provides one-on-one coaching to develop leadership competencies in high potential individuals.
Following an assessment, the individual works with one of our certified coaches to customize their development plan. Each plan includes measurable goals targeted to build the critical thinking, interpersonal communication, and team building skills required to be an effective business leader.
Executive Compensation
Are you compensating your leaders fairly? How can you know what salary is competitive when compensation is such a private topic? Evolve Partner Group provides executive compensation plan development including incentive plans. We support clients by assessing executive level compensation programs as part of ownership transitions. This includes developing or updating your compensation philosophy, as well as presenting competitive base and total pay compensation data by position.
Mediated Conflict Resolution
Disputes and conflicts can ruin a business. Don’t let this happen to you. Evolve Partner Group's certified mediators offer constructive approaches to dispute resolution for business leaders challenged by discord and dissension among stakeholder groups, including board members, owners, partners, senior executives, and management teams.
Drawing on decades of business management and consulting experience, combined with an emphasis on interest-based mediation, we facilitate multi-party agreement to resolve differences and move forward toward building high-performing teams and achieving business results.
Talent Management
Your people are your most important asset. Evolve Partner Group consultants help develop programs to increase morale, engagement, and accountability throughout the business. We use surveys, focus groups, and employee interviews to discover your current talent management needs. We then work with you to build a comprehensive talent development strategy, ranging from flexible career ladder development and high potential identification to compensation structure review and leadership training.
