Whether you're selling, bringing in a COO, or transitioning from founder-mode to executive team, smooth handoffs require documentation, systems, and change management. I ensure operational continuity through leadership transitions.
What's included:
- Operational documentation and knowledge transfer systems
- Standard operating procedures (SOPs) for all critical functions
- Role clarification and responsibility mapping for new leadership
- Communication planning for team, clients, and stakeholders
- Interim operational leadership during transition period
- New leader onboarding and integration support
- 90-day transition plan with milestones and success metrics
Who needs this:
- Founders preparing to sell or exit their business
- Companies hiring their first COO or VP of Operations
- Businesses experiencing unexpected leadership turnover
- Founders stepping back from day-to-day operations to focus on strategy
Typical outcomes:
- Smooth transition without operational disruption or knowledge loss
- New leadership ramps quickly with documented systems and processes
- Team confidence maintained through clear communication and continuity
- Business value preserved (or increased) through professional handoff
Engagement: 90-180 days depending on complexity, can include interim leadership
