Succession Readiness and Planning:
Executives and critical personnel power growth and ensure stability within a company. A successful organization plans ahead for replacing people in key positions when someone leaves the company.

Visionary / Strategic Growth Planning:
Business leaders are charged with developing a strategic vision for their company, practice, or organization, and for establishing an executable plan to achieve it.
