SUCCESSION TO VALUE

Turn Succession into a Value Creation Engine

Every pivot demands the right successors in the right roles at the right time. Succession to Value™ trains leaders and talent teams to do succession differently: translate strategy into future-focused outcomes, surface risks that block value delivery, and prepare successors with targeted readiness plans that accelerate enterprise performance. Instead of lengthy, tick-box reviews that consume hundreds of hours with limited impact, our method produces defensible readiness insights and actionable development agendas that are tightly linked to value. Our Succession to Value™ program is designed for CHROs, talent leaders, business leaders, HR partners, and private equity teams responsible for preparing critical roles to deliver strategy through transitions and pivots.

THE JOURNEY

The CEO Works team will support you through a four-month Succession to Value™ journey. Your journey begins with a 1.5-day workshop followed by mentoring from a Master CEO Works Coach.

/DEFINE

Define succession criteria for the future

  • Jobs to be Done — Future-focused, value-critical outcomes for the role
  • Risk Assessment and Superpowers — Risks embedded in the work and role/organization design
  • Succession Role Summary — A clear snapshot of "what are we preparing for"

/ASSESS

Evidence-based readiness assessment

  • Evidence Mosaic — A rigorous framework for collecting data and assessing successors
  • Succession Pipeline — Identify who is "ready now" and who is "only one move away"

/MOBILIZE

Close the gap and enable success

  • Development Plan — Targeted actions to close readiness gaps and strengthen succession pipeline

Digital Tools Included: All participants receive access to our digital and AI tools, which help intellectualize and facilitate some of the work involved in implementing Succession to Value™ methodology in their work. At the conclusion of the workshop, participants will be mentored by a Master CEO Works Coach to apply the methodology in their organizations for up to 4 months.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN

  • Define future-focused outcomes for key roles, shifting from "identifying successors to do today's job" to "preparing successors to deliver future business results"
  • Identify potential risks and corresponding Superpowers needed to excel given the challenges
  • Build a comprehensive, objective approach to assessing successors and their readiness
  • Design development plans that prepare successors to be ready for the role
