If every decision secure grip needs

Succession is the most sensitive issue an entrepreneur can face. It touches on one’s life’s work, family, trust, and the future all at once. That is precisely why you need a partner who understands this context—not just someone who provides a candidate.

Batterman Consulting has been supporting companies and owners through this phase for years. We are familiar with the typical pitfalls: planning that starts too late, an intra-family solution based on a sense of duty rather than conviction, and a preferred successor who lacks the necessary leadership qualities.
Our approach combines executive search with strategic consulting. We not only help find the right person, but also ask the right question: Does the company need an internal successor, an external CEO, or a new board structure to facilitate the transition?

We work discreetly, directly, and on an equal footing with the owner. After all, succession planning only works if there is trust from the very beginning.
