Who we help Franchises & Dealer Groups
Plan today to make the next generation capable, confident leaders.
Franchisees and dealers often face similar challenges, and they don’t have to face them alone. We work with franchisors and individual franchisees to provide education and leadership development that prepares the next generation for the responsibilities ahead. We also help create plans for succession that satisfy both the franchisors' requirements and the family owners' goals and vision.Succession Planning
Ensure the name you’ve built carries on to the next generation.
Franchisees and dealers face a number of critical questions in planning for succession within their companies. Who will my next generation leader be? How does that next generation leader gain corporate approval? When’s the best time to pass on leadership of the company?
The answers are different for each family, each business, and each vision for the future. What’s common is that the transition to the next generation goes much more smoothly when following a structured process that considers the well being of both the business and the family. Together, we’ll design a comprehensive plan for the smooth transition of leadership, ownership, governance and family assets.
Programs & Education
Understand the unique challenges faced by family franchisees and dealer groups.
More and more, franchised corporations are recognizing the benefits of sustaining family ownership across generations. This continuity can preserve the integrity of the brand and maintain a strong connection to the community. Investing in education and learning today can improve business outcomes now while securing the future.
Our team provides programs on a wide range of critical topics, including succession and continuity planning, leadership development, conflict management and resolution, governance and much more. These programs can be adapted to anything from keynote addresses to half-day, full-day or multi-day workshops. Our presentations are always customized for you, dealing with the unique realities faced by your franchisees and dealer groups.
In addition to our extensive work with individual franchisees and dealers, we have conducted group training and presentations for a variety of corporations, associations and other groups serving franchise/dealer/distributor companies.
