Executive Transition Management

Strong leadership is absolutely necessary for an effective organization, but the process of leadership change is often difficult and distracting from an organization’s mission and delivery of services.

Getting the right guidance in planning and implementing an effective, efficient organizational transition is crucial. Doing the transition process right allows an organization to recruit and retain the right new leader – someone who will ensure an organization’s health, sustainability and results for years to come.

Our ETM consulting teams provide the review, planning and facilitation services an effective transition requires. Every organization’s specific situation varies, but the key aspects of our ETM services are:

• Building organization-wide consensus for the essential skills, abilities and qualities required in the new leader
• Creating specific and comprehensive transition plans for leadership change
• Assuring that key concerns of vital stakeholders, especially board and staff, funders, and clients, are understood and that stakeholders remain confident and invested in an organization’s future
• Facilitating and supporting a Board of Directors’ search for leadership with tools, templates, resources and guidance at every step
• Guiding the process as the departing leader steps down and a new leader is integrated
