THE COMMERCIAL GAP
The rainmakers cannot stay at the top forever
In many professional services businesses, the strongest client relationships and most of the business development capability still sit with a small number of senior people.
The next generation is technically capable, but often has never been taught how to build a network, walk into a room, explain their value, create opportunity or develop a relationship beyond the screen.

COMMERCIAL SUCCESSION
NETWORKS & RELATIONSHIPS
COMMERCIAL SUCCESSION
Develop the next generation of client-facing leaders so relationships, knowledge and work-winning capability do not remain concentrated at the top.
Business development shouldn't sit only with senior leadersh
Apply it in the real world.
When responsibility for relationships and work-winning sits almost entirely with owners, partners and senior directors, growth becomes dependent on the same people who are already carrying the greatest operational responsibility.
Building commercial capability further down the organisation creates more people who can generate opportunity, reduces key-person dependency and protects relationships and commercial knowledge for the future.
