What’s Inside?
Why Plan for Succession?
SIGMA has worked with thousands of organizations across North America, and CEOs consistently share that they struggle to plan for tomorrow because they can hardly keep up with the demands of today. While planning for succession requires an investment of time and effort, it is well worth the cost. Harvard Business Review estimates that effective succession planning can increase annual company valuations and investor returns by 20-25%.1 Succession plans also build internal leadership pipelines, helping organizations to:
- Attract and retain top talent.
- Improve performance and productivity.
- Increase employee morale.
- Facilitate smooth leadership transitions.
- Create strategic alignment.
- Ensure long-term organizational stability.
