How can I make the best use of the Succession Scorecard ?
Succession is a complex process that is determined by many factors. The scorecard is an aid for seeing how you as an entrepreneur score on these success factors. The scorecard tries to give you as complete a picture as possible of the succession issues. It brings factors to your attention which you may not have thought about until now. Given the complexity of succession, the scorecard obviously does not offer you a guarantee that your succession will succeed if you have a good score. You should rather look at the scorecard as a guideline which helps you think about succession.
