Organizations
Supply Chain Continuity & Exit-Readiness Workshops
Your greatest operational threat isn’t labor or pricing — it’s retirement.
Across the U.S., more than 80% of small and mid-sized suppliers are owner-dependent. When those owners retire without a plan, your capacity and continuity walk out the door with them.That’s where we come in. As Certified Exit Planning Advisors, we partner with general contractors, manufacturers, utilities, and trade associations to deliver Exit-Readiness Workshops that strengthen entire supply chains through proactive succession and value acceleration planning.
Our facilitated programs help your vendor networks:
● Reduce supplier and subcontractor continuity risk
● Develop succession and value growth strategies
● Build a culture of readiness and long-term resilience
● Protect your organization’s operational capacity -
