“Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom.”
– Aristotle.

Organizations perform better, transform faster, save money, and grow towards their ultimate potential by making the right hiring and development choices when it comes to their leaders.

But, how do you know that you are making the best possible decisions? And how do you ensure that these decisions are implemented in the best possible way, reaping the short and long-term benefits for all?

Our suite of interventions for the LEADER sharpen your leadership succession decisions and accelerate the readiness of your leaders to perform and transform.

      ida Leader Succession Program is our end-to-end solution for C-suite succession. It is designed to select and prepare the right leaders for the right roles with the right speed. It is a unique program because: 

      • It provides a holistic approach including stakeholder alignment, board commitment, whole leader assessment and targeted and continuous development.
      • In terms of role requirements, there is attention to “perform” capabilities and “transform” capabilities.
      • While assessment is aligned, objective and science-based, development is customized towards the needs of each participant.
      • It provides external benchmarking and advises how to consider external candidates but does not engage in the actual search process, preventing any potential conflict of interest.

      This program not only secures that there is a healthy pipeline for the CEO and C-suite roles, but also the internal participants are highly engaged and perform better in their current roles.
