Highly Effective Succession Planning Programs

The Time to Start Succession Planning is Now!

Succession Planning

We have a complete program for an organization to successfully transition. Whether leadership is retiring or moving on to another position of responsibility, we need to be prepared to move the right people into the right jobs. 

That means preparing leaders as well as future leaders. We have programs for both!

Our online Succession Plan program is a great way to start the process. We also have onsite programs that generally meet once a month for 6-months to a year to assure a smooth transition, whether the changes are happening now or 5 years in the future.

This program works because we cover all the basics of leadership development – information, hands-on and most importantly experiential. We teach your LEAD candidates what it takes to lead, then we let them actually lead.

Lead in a safe environment where they have the room to take risks, try things out, fail and get back in the saddle.

In addition, we form a strong bond with these LEAD members which builds community and commitment – to you and your company.

You not only finish this program with a group of next level leaders, but you also finish with a team who is committed to each other’s success.

Meet Your Superheroes for Succession Planning

Who Comes Next? Leadership Succession Made Easy

Meridith Elliott Powell and Dr. Mary Kelly share what it takes to build a strong talent pipeline, develop your future leaders, and create a succession plan that gives you a clear competitive advantage.

Competitive, challenging, and constantly shifting – that is today’s marketplace. To successfully compete, organizations need to build depth of experience, perspective, and increase the knowledge base of their leadership bench.

Leaders and organizations need to start planning now to:

  1. Invest in attracting top talent
  2. Develop leadership skills
  3. Design a succession plan that gets results

With more than 75 million baby-boomers reaching retirement age, you need to be managerially prepared. You need answers to important organizational and leadership questions:

  • What will the new roles and responsibilities look like in the future?
  • What do we need to build an organizational plan for new challenges?
  • Who is going to move into more senior positions? Who comes next?

Praise for Our Succession Planning Programs

“With more than 45-percent of our leadership ready to retire within two years, we were in crisis mode. Meridith and Mary stepped in and delivered a program that not only created our talent pipeline, but they did the impossible. They took our future leaders from zero to sixty in record time. Within six months of completing the program, more than half of the participants were promoted. The level to which they are leading far exceeded my expectations. The bonus – Meridith and Mary taught them to actively build talent pipelines so we never find ourselves in a crisis mode again. I cannot recommend or sing their praises enough – lifesaver.”

Shirley Bloomfield, CEO, National Telecommunications Association

“LEAD changed my life – professionally and personally. When we started this program, I thought it would be the typical leadership development program – courses, reading, discussions. But this was out-of-the-box. We dealt with tough issues, took ownership of our personal development, and learned exactly what our Executive Leadership team deals with on a daily basis. After two sessions, I started looking at leadership in an entirely new way. Powerful – that is how I would describe lead.”

Margaret Pettyjohn, SVP, American Savings Bank

“We looked at so many programs for succession planning and leadership development, and Meridith’s just stood out. She has such a fresh approach and focuses on action and execution. Just what we needed."

Jim Rasmussen, CEO, Morrow Insurance

“This program is not for the weak, you better be ready to work, better to be committed, and ready to learn about true leadership. Leadership is responsibility, big responsibility – after LEAD I am ready.”

Kim Heskett, SVP, Mountain Credit Union
