Their strategies, insights, methodologies, and frameworks are both practical and successfully proven - applied in the real-world of business today.
CORPORATE PROGRAMS
SUCCESSION PLANNING PROGRAM
Executive and HR Teams: is your firm prepared to pass today’s leadership roles down to another employee or group of employees to fulfill tomorrow’s leadership needs? According to an SHRM only 21% of HR professionals said their organization had a formal succession plan in place. BlackFin’s succession plan program ensures that businesses continue to run smoothly and without interruption, after important people move on to new opportunities, retire, or pass away. Our succession planning program also assists in preparing for a liquidity event, which enables the transfer of ownership in a going concern to rising employees.
