THE LEADERSHIP CONTINUITY CHALLENGE

Succession Management is More Than a Planning Exercise

For small and midsize organizations, the departure or unexpected absence due to health or life circumstances of a critical leader can have an outsized impact.

“Succession is a supervisory expectation, not a nice to have”

-occ.gov

In highly regulated industries, the stakes are even higher. Boards, investors, employees, and regulators need confidence that the organization has considered leadership continuity and is actively preparing for critical leadership transitions.

Yet many organizations face a familiar challenge:

They know who their high performers are—but they aren’t always sure who is ready for the next level.

Vivaria helps bridge that gap.

We bring objective leadership assessment together with practical development and succession expertise to help organizations understand:

Who has the potential to take on greater responsibility
Where leadership strengths and risks exist
What capabilities the next role requires
Where successors have development gaps
How to turn assessment insights into measurable development
How to strengthen leadership continuity before a transition occurs

Strengthen Your Leadership Pipeline

Built for Organizations Where Leadership Continuity Matters

61% of HR leaders say succession plans are often too senior level focused and this hierarchical approach doesn’t leave room for the nuances of the business. Citation Gartner “Succession Planning that Builds the Leaders you actually need”

Vivaria works primarily with small and midsize organizations that need sophisticated leadership and succession capabilities without necessarily having the infrastructure of a large enterprise.

Highly Regulated Industries

We have a particular expertise in organizations where leadership continuity, governance, and succession risk are especially important.

Financial Services

Leadership transitions can affect regulatory relationships, client confidence, risk management, and business continuity.

Biotech & Life Sciences

As organizations grow, leadership complexity increases—and the loss of critical expertise or leadership capability can create significant strategic and operational risk.

Other Small & Midsize Organizations

Our approach is also relevant to organizations experiencing:

Rapid growth
Leadership transitions
Founder or owner succession
Expansion into new markets
Private equity portfolio company leadership teams
Preparation for a future CEO or C-suite transition
Development of a stronger internal leadership pipeline
