How does advisory work at Succession Strength?

Advisory follows assessment. Every advisory engagement begins with a kickoff call where we review your assessment or diagnostic results and recommend an optimal approach for using your session time. You choose how to allocate your hours based on your specific priorities. Advisory is structured execution support, not open-ended consulting.

Do I need to take an assessment before getting advisory support?

Advisory is most effective when it follows a diagnostic. Assessment results give both you and the advisor a shared understanding of where the gaps are, which makes every session more targeted and productive. If you have not yet taken an assessment, we will recommend the right one during your initial conversation.

What can I use advisory sessions for?

Advisory sessions can be used for navigating specific transition roadblocks, executing a pre-defined strategy, structuring and planning a transition approach, facilitating difficult conversations, closing gaps identified in assessments, preparing for due diligence or investor engagement, coaching through identity transition and delegation challenges, or any other aspect of business or leadership transition where structured guidance adds value.

Which package should I choose?

The 4-session package is designed for leaders with a specific issue or roadblock who need targeted guidance. The 7-session package is the most popular and suits leaders who are underway but need strategic support across several aspects of their transition. The 10-session package is for leaders who want comprehensive strategic advice defining and navigating their full transition journey.

Can advisory support multiple leaders in an organization?

Yes. Advisory packages can be structured to support multiple leaders navigating transition within the same organization. This is common in family businesses with multiple stakeholders, companies with both a departing leader and an incoming successor, and organizations supporting several leaders through retirement or career transitions. Contact us to discuss multi-leader arrangements.
