Succession & generational change
Handing over a company takes years, not months. Experienced leadership makes the transition safe.
Many Swiss companies face succession in the coming years, and the period around a handover is among the most delicate in a company's life. Knowledge, relationships and judgement need to change hands without breaking.
A fractional leader stabilises functions during the transition, professionalises structures that so far lived in the owner's head, and makes the company transferable.
Does this sound familiar?
- Critical knowledge and key relationships sit with the owner alone.
- The company should be transferable within a few years, but is not yet.
- A successor exists, but needs an experienced counterpart during the handover.
- Financials and processes need professionalising before a sale or handover.
How fractional leadership helps
- A fractional CFO makes the numbers transparent, consistent and diligence-ready.
- A fractional COO documents operations and detaches them from the owner.
- An experienced counterpart supports the successor through the first years.
- Engagements can taper off as the new leadership takes hold.
