Business Succession / Shareholder Changes
Secure Transition through Systematic Processes
Expert advice, insight and implementation for your transition plan
The transition of responsibilities and ownership is a critical moment for any company. Emotional factors and non-transferable structures play a crucial role. A systematic problem-solving process that considers all factors is often the only way to achieve a viable solution in a reasonable time frame.
Challenges
Equip Yourself to Lead Change
Every leadership change brings changes in the assessment of situations and actions. Emotional bonds and fears of restricted freedom of action can further complicate the process. Different interests of stakeholders increase the complexity even further.
Solutions
Our approaches of strategies
Our objective third party leads a systematic problem-solving process that takes all relevant factors into account and balances them. This allows us to find quick and effective sustainable solutions that all parties can accept.
Stable and Successful Transition
Companies are heavily influenced by their founders and long-term CEOs. When these leaders leave, internal cohesion can be lost, and processes may develop in an uncoordinated manner. This poses risks both for succession and for sales to investors. With over 30 years of experience in process structuring, ECM ensures a smooth transition, maintaining the company's stability and success.
Pragmatic approach during the succession plan
Who will lead the company in the future, and how? These questions often arise during the transition to the next generation and are, unfortunately, not always easy to answer. Pragmatic solutions that are acceptable to all parties involved must be found, and conflicts are often unavoidable in this process. However, with extensive experience and partners who have already undergone this process in their own companies, ECM usually finds a solution – even if it has eluded others for years.
