The organization finds itself toggling between wanting to honor the Founders legacy but needing to move the organization forward. Institutional knowledge and relationships run deep so Founder transition seems daunting and potentially risky.

Fit:

The Board, Owner or Executive Committee recognizes what got the organization to this point isn’t what is needed to in the next stage or the existing leader’s style no longer fits the culture the organization wants to create. This program is beneficial when the circumstance involves sensitivities because of potential increased public scrutiny or exposure.
