Intra-family succession

Succession in the company

An early succession ensures the continuity of the company and creates trust among heirs, employees and business partners. We help you and your potential successor to prepare optimally for the handover. Talk to us in good time. We will then work with you to develop a suitable takeover strategy.

The same qualitative selection criteria apply to the successor from within the family as for an external successor: he or she must be a good personal fit for your company and show sufficient potential to continue the company’s business success. We use an analysis to assess their strengths and abilities.

If we identify any skills deficits, we provide individual coaching to help him or her prepare for future tasks in the best possible way. As with all our consulting activities, honesty is our top priority. If someone does not have the necessary qualifications to continue running your company successfully, we are not afraid to communicate this fact. This is the only way to achieve the best result for everyone involved.

In cases of conflict, we can also mediate on request and work with the parties involved to find the best solution for everyone.

Selection criteria for internal successors:

  • Willingness to make decisions about entrepreneurship

  • Willingness and ability to lead

  • Willingness to perform and take responsibility

  • Calculated willingness to take risks

  • Professional and methodical training

  • Competencies

  • External assessment

  • Honesty, reliability and social and emotional competence

We use an analysis to assess the strengths and skills of the successor.
