Legacy Transition Strategy
Legacy is not nostalgia. It is the explicit set of commitments — to customers, employees, family and community — that the founder wants the business to honor for the next generation.

Frequently asked
Is legacy planning only for exits?+
No. It applies to every transition — succession, professional CEO, partnership or exit. The legacy commitments are what carry forward.
Does legacy planning constrain future leadership?+
It guides, not constrains. A well-written legacy charter gives future leadership clarity, not a straitjacket.
