Overview
Experienced succession, transition and exit professionals agree that a formal comprehensive transition plan incorporating input from multiple trusted advisors produces the best result. The difficulty in coordinating efforts between Accountants, Attorneys, Financial Advisors, Estate Planners and Management Consultants often prevent the realization of a truly collaborative plan.
In addition, planning without execution is virtually worthless. Plans must be converted into simplified implementation processes. If a plan’s results aren’t easily communicated and continually monitored they produce inconsistent and sub-par results.
Attend this seminar and learn about;
- How to choose the right professional team
- How to secure the value anticipated by the transaction is realized
- How to recruit, motivate and retain key personnel
- How to plan for a smooth personal departure minimizing the chances of returning
- How to follow a simplified transition planning process reducing your tasks down to specific steps and action items
What to Expect
This presentation will provide an executive overview of a transition planning process with detailed exhibits of our planning approach that integrates and balances a business owner’s personal and professional values, principles and goals while considering many options and contingencies for the future. We will emphasize the importance of understanding a company’s value & demonstrate how to examine and prioritize action items that maximize opportunities to increase value.
There will be a live case review of a hypothetical company in the midst of developing its’ transition plan. Hear experts from Accounting (Boyum & Barenscheer), Law (Winthrop & Weinstine or Benepartum), Valuation – M & A (Chartwell/Capital Solutions), Strategic Planning (Action Coach or Sheridan Performance Group) perspectives on:
- Strategic Business Planning
- Estate Planning
