I recently went through the Sigma Succession Planning Training and it was phenomenal. I am in the process of standardizing our succession processes across our Americas region and this is exactly what I wanted. Brittney and Helen gave me the resources I needed to help my team be able to easily understand how to identify critical roles easier and then begin to build out each of their benches in a methodical way. I can’t wait to start using all the tools!

We’d hired SIGMA to help us develop a standardized process for succession planning. Brittney advised us from beginning to end. She met with our leadership team a few times to eliminate some succession planning misconceptions, and to fully understand our culture. She then helped us design something unique that would fit our needs and provided the tools and the coaching we needed to be successful.

The workbook was very detailed and easy to use. It is a great resource for moving forward with our planning. The activities were very well planned and there was just the right amount of time for these exercises. Our group felt that the information provided is going to be very helpful as we work through this process. Erica was very thoughtful in her responses and understood exactly what we were looking for.
