Succession Planning Services
Identify, select, and develop your next generation of leaders
Nobody stays in the same job forever; illness, retirement, and turnover of key employees are unavoidable. Succession planning provides your company with a roadmap to ensure continuity when these changes occur. A good succession plan is objective and data-driven. It defines key roles, identifies succession candidates, systematically measures their strengths, and guides their talent development. This process ensures your future leaders will be ready to take on their new role when the time comes.
For over 50 years, SIGMA’s experts have combined evidence-based theory with practical industry experience to deliver effective business succession planning services. We can help prepare you to succeed during times of organizational change.
