Developed in partnership with Greenway Group, one of the leading A&D business management consulting firms in North America, this workshop is ideal for firm owners and potential successors thinking about their future and the future leadership of their firm.
Design a future where you are in control of your destiny
In the press of day-to-day management and design work, planning to transition firm ownership is often neglected. The reality, however, is that a transition will happen whether you’re ready for it or not. Having an intentional plan and strategy will prepare you to face any challenges that arise.
On the flip side, many aspiring leaders are hesitant to signal their intentions to become firm owners. We’ll give you the tools you need to build your confidence so you’ll be well-equipped to step up into leadership and begin. Owners will learn how to encourage potential successors by identifying and developing the next generation of leaders in a renewing and continuous way.
Think about it: if your firm’s transition doesn’t go smoothly, clients and staff leave, and the inherent value of the firm erodes. Too many businesses have been down this road, and our experts can help you plan ahead to avoid these consequences.
Your guides will be Lisa Henry, CEO of Greenway Group, and Suzan Globus, Senior Principal at Greenway Group, who have helped scores of A&D firms successfully navigate the challenges of transition planning. They’ve designed this workshop especially to address the needs of small-to-mid-sized firms and sole proprietors, offering a unique opportunity to learn from leading experts on business strategy.
