The problem

Knowledge and decisions locked in individuals.

What we build

Leadership development, structures and career paths, and succession plans.

The outcome

An institution that is run and endures beyond its founders.

Why you need this practice

Challenges institutions face

  • Knowledge and decisions locked in the founder
  • No clear career paths or role descriptions
  • Weak internal delivery capacity and reliance on individuals
  • No succession plan to protect the institution when leadership is absent
  • A second line not ready to take responsibility

When you need this practice

  • When leadership wants to free itself for the bigger decisions
  • During leadership transition in family businesses
  • When building a second line and enabling talent
  • As you grow and the institution needs a clearer structure
  • When preparing for a listing or bringing in partners

How we build your leadership and people system: our phased engagement model

Four stages that move your institution from depending on individuals to a leadership system that is run and endures beyond any leadership transition.

1

Diagnose capabilities and roles

We review your current structure, roles, and competencies, and pinpoint the gap between what your institution needs and what it has today.

2

Design the structure and career paths

We build a fit-for-purpose organizational structure with role descriptions, career paths, and clear performance indicators for every role.

3

Build talent and the second line

We develop leaders and build the second line through individual development plans, and move knowledge from individuals into the system.

4

Succession and continuity

We design succession plans for critical roles and a steward model that keeps leadership and decision-making running through any transition, and we enable your team to run the system independently.
