Succession planning often gets sidelined, treated as a reactive measure for unexpected leadership changes. At DRAX, we advocate a strategic, forward-looking approach that sees succession planning as a core part of sustainable growth. Leadership teams aren’t “set it and forget it.” Their composition needs ongoing assessment to ensure the right balance of skills, experience, and behaviours aligns with the Value Creation Plan’s evolving needs. After all, the team that guided a business to its current success may not be the team to lead it into the next phase of growth. Our team’s expertise in proactive succession planning empowers investors and businesses to identify and prepare the leaders needed at every stage of growth—unlocking potential and maximising value.

Did you know that every month’s delay in changing a CEO can extend the investment cycle by an additional three weeks? However, the impact of planned versus unplanned leadership changes can differ significantly. At DRAX, we often discuss how investment teams and high-growth businesses hesitate to initiate leadership change conversations—delays that can harm value creation. From our experience, the real advantage lies in proactively mapping out the ideal leadership structure and timeline. The key isn’t about what, who, or how the change will happen—it’s about when.
