Company Profile

Success Associates has the first and only succession planning total solution that combines content, process and software. It is also unique in its practical “how to” get results focus.Our comprehensive methodology includes content, process and software that create capabilities for you to implement, easily collect and analyze relevant data, set compelling meeting agendas, develop action plans, create and track development plans and easily measure success.

Conventional wisdom by theorists claims that every organization’s succession planning process must be unique to them. Our success for over a decade working with clients using a standardized approach - with minor configuration changes to “make it your own” has clearly proven it is not necessary to reinvent the wheel. Our core process models have been benchmarked and published as “best in class” and their use has been refined and extended in collaboration with executives and practitioners since 1996 in the United States, Europe and Asia.

Our proprietary one day seminar content is highly innovative in that it is 1) proven to work domestically and internationally, 2) simple and easy to understand, 3) delivers compelling outcomes with efficient use of executive’s time, 4) uniquely predicts vacant positions in the next 12 months, 5) contains proprietary research regarding a key policy issue and 6) works with all types of organizations from 400 to 300,000 employees in size. Many people have been able to launch their succession planning efforts based solely upon this one day of shared learning.

Our two day workshop format includes the one day seminar content and provides additional topics and a consulting component to help adjust models and create an implementation plan specific to your organization. Our optional consulting services are available to support your ongoing efforts at key milestones with succession planning and executive development.
