Here’s how our executive succession planning service is different

At Winning Performance, we’ve got a track record of supporting executives to become CEOs. Our executive succession planning process supports the executive’s development over time in a bespoke and intentional way so they are ready to shine when you interview them for the role.

1. You’ll be confident we’ve thought of everything required to set the executive up for success because of the way we involve you in the design and evaluation of the process;
2. The executive will be confident they’re working on the right things because we utilise multiple approaches to understanding their strengths and development areas, such as psychometric assessments, 360-degree surveys, feedforward collated through interviews with the Board, etc.;
3. The executive will be motivated to work on the areas identified because we help them create a compelling and practical development plan that isn’t focused on just more training; and
4. The executive will maintain their enthusiasm and progress because we follow up and support them over time with regular executive coaching.

Here’s how executive succession planning improves performance

1. External candidates sometimes look more appealing than internal ones, but often that’s because we know the internal – and their flaws – better. Our process allows you to appoint an executive whose development areas are known from the outset.
2. Not every executive is invested in their own development. Our process gives you the option of appointing an executive who has demonstrated their commitment to ongoing growth and development.
3. Even if they’re a great candidate, not every external executive will be the right fit for your role and organisation. Our process allows you to appoint an executive who is known to be a good fit for your culture.
4. External candidates generally take longer to get up to speed than internals, because they need time to cultivate organisational knowledge, networks and supports. Our process gives you the option of appointing an executive who already has those things in place, and can therefore add value faster.
5. Even if the internal candidate is not appointed, the organisation will benefit from the executive’s enhanced performance.

Here’s some of the options

1. Full executive succession planning process, complete with high-quality personality profiling, 360-degree survey, guided self-reflection to identify strengths to leverage and potential development areas, a co-created development plan, executive coaching, progress reviews, etc.
2. Just aspects of the above, e.g., high-quality personality profiling followed by executive coaching if desired.
