“My time with Claudio was timely and relevant, not only to my job performance but the development of my career at a time of new beginnings here at my company. Our work has been high-level and actionable. “Actionable” is key - as I have turned various concepts into a framework which have guided decision making and implementation from a strategic marketing perspective. Not only has this made me a better marketer, but I think it has made me a better colleague and leader.”

“Peggy is very knowledgeable and a true ops leader. These traits helped me expand my own thinking and approach. She pushed me, sometimes out of my comfort zone, which helped me grow. But she is also receptive when I push back.”
SVP Operations of a Healthcare Insurer
For the past three years, Joe Hanneman has been an invaluable partner to our organization. He has brought a level of clarity, structure, and focus to our senior leadership team that has significantly enhanced how we operate. His thoughtful recommendations—especially around monthly forecasting—have helped us stay aligned, anticipate challenges, and ultimately exceed our goals. What truly sets Joe apart is his unique ability to balance insight with influence. He knows when to gently suggest a new approach and when to push us outside our comfort zone. For a company with deep roots and a strong legacy, that balance has been essential in driving meaningful progress while honoring who we are. He has helped me make important major decisions that have positively transformed the company. We are a stronger and more efficient organization in large part due to Joe’s steady and sage recommendations. His impact has been clear, and we are grateful for the strategic guidance he continues to provide

FREQUENTLY
ASKED QUESTIONS

We are here to help you better understand how we support your senior leaders through Executive Mentoring. Whether you’re exploring how the program works, what results to expect, or how mentors are selected, these answers provide clarity on every stage of the Executive Mentoring process.
It is a program that moves succession planning from strategy to execution. Instead of simply identifying potential future leaders, the program prepares them for critical leadership roles through mentorship, exposure to leadership, and strategic assignments. The main goal is to ensure that the organization always has capable leaders ready to step into key roles during transition.
Traditional succession planning focuses on identifying potential successors for key roles, while activation of succession planning goes a step further by actively developing those individuals through leadership training, mentoring, real-world leadership responsibilities, and continuous evaluation. This ensures that potential successors are not only identified but also prepared to assume leadership roles when needed.
A typical program includes leadership assessments, identification of high-potential employees, executive coaching, mentorship from senior leaders, leadership development workshops, and strategic stretch assignments. These elements help future leaders build the skills, confidence, and strategic thinking required to succeed in senior leadership roles.
The duration of a succession planning activation program depends on the organization’s size, leadership structure, and development goals. Most programs typically run between 6 and 18 months to allow enough time for leadership assessment, development planning, skill building, and progress evaluation.
