Succession Planning: Who Gets to Sit in Papa's Chair

Only 33% of family-owned businesses make it through the second generation, and it goes downhill from there. The percentages can easily be increased if the current business owners tackle one important detail — succession planning. In this motivating and practical program, Laura Michaud will teach you proactive succession planning, helping you secure the future of your family business for generations to come.

Learn how to:

  • Create an 8-step succession plan at this seminar in order to choose the right successor (a draft is done during the program).
  • Learn to set up family systems meetings and councils to assure a smooth transition.
  • Establish an outside board of directors that offer you an objective perspective on succession.
  • Compose a communications plan that will aid in announcing who the chosen successor is.
  • Identify the milestone activities and dates that must be met to complete a successful succession.

The best part of this session is that attendees leave this program with an actual personalized succession plan draft written for their specific business. You can choose a 90-minute to three-hour presentation format.
