Opportunities in Business Transition: A Dialogue on Succession with Elizabeth Ledoux and Andrea Carpenter

In this episode, the first of a two-part series, host Elizabeth Ledoux and guest Andrea Carpenter have a wide-ranging conversation about the possibility of Andrea becoming Elizabeth’s successor at Transition Strategists, Elizabeth’s consultancy that offers transition and business succession planning strategies to families, individuals, and businesses.

Elizabeth and Andrea discuss the value of potentially collaborating together in business, their conversation invites listeners like you to ponder your situation and whether you, like Elizabeth, might want to start planning your own business transition or succession.

They also discuss the difficulties and opportunities that people face when planning business succession, plus conducting personality assessments to evaluate the fit—or lack of fit—between two potential business partners.
