SMART Session #6 | Your Business Will (Who and How is Your Business Going to Survive You)

Most people don’t think seriously about succession planning until they’re nearing retirement — but preparing the next CEO or owner takes far more time, intention, and clarity than most realize.

In this insightful and practical session, longtime business strategist and visionary Dave Haviland will help you understand what goes into a strong succession plan, what to start lining up now, and how to ensure your business thrives long after you step back.

Come ready to get your ducks in a row — or at least finally figure out which ducks you need — so your business can truly outlast you.
