Succession Planning
Make your executive exits a smooth transition, not a fire drill
Are you prepared if one of your key executives walks? Is your founder ready to retire? Are your next generation of executive leaders prepared? Most orgs like yours are thinking about succession and management continuity, but are not executing an intentional plan. Are you? Emergent Execs provides a simple path for your company to capture the institutional knowledge of your lynchpin leaders, evaluate potential successors and develop the executives of the future – all within 6-12 months.
Here is our succession
planning approach:
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

“The Accelerator program helped me tremendously in sharpening my management skills. I loved the classroom experience and getting the opportunity to hear from other leaders in the tech space. Meeting with my coach helped me bring the learnings from the classroom back to work and apply them to my role.”

“I attended the Accelerator program to learn more about how to think strategically about rapidly growing a global team. Since attending, I have increased the size of my team from 20 people to over 75. The Socratic method used in the classroom, in conjunction with the individualized coaching sessions, helped me design a detailed, personalized action plan. I enjoyed the opportunities to engage with my peers in the classroom and establish relationships that will last
well beyond the program.”
