Board Succession Planning
Effective succession planning starts well in advance of any succession need and is core to a robust people strategy.
We work with Boards and leadership teams to identify critical roles, assess current and future leadership capability, map succession risks, and develop robust talent pipelines. Through a combination of leadership assessment, talent intelligence, and market insight, we help organisations build confidence in their succession plans and ensure future leadership readiness.
Livingston James is uniquely qualified to assist Boards with the complex challenge of succession planning.
Our firm’s commitment to our clients begins with bringing creative solutions to the table with a focus on quality. In addition to C-suite search and onboarding support, we offer strategic introductions to our wider network of leaders, leadership assessments, and team development services. We help our clients unlock their leadership team’s potential, encouraging innovative and diverse thinking to capitalise on emerging talent.
We assist our clients in identifying the future desired impact of key leadership roles and subsequently reverse-engineer assessment processes that help to identify the skills and experience that potential future leaders will need to build to be ready to step up when the time comes.
As expert advisers on leadership selection and the best succession practices, we support new leaders to accelerate their performance in line with company expectation and ensure our attention is always focused on the impact of the role.
We offer additional People Advisory Services to support our clients: Board Due Diligence | Psychometric Testing | Talent Mapping & Business Intelligence | Executive Compensation Consulting.
