Keynote Speech at Inlingua Congress St. Gallen

I had the privilege to give a keynote speech at the annual inlingua congress in St. Gallen this May

It's never too early to start thinking about your succession!

When it comes to succession planning there are a lot of topics to be covered. In my keynote speech I highlighted eight takeaways to be taken into consideration:

  1. Duration --> It takes a long time - so better start today than tomorrow.
  2. Complexity --> Successions are complex – it's not only the financial part...
  3. Support --> Find support by a specialist.
  4. Action --> Take immediate action. Now.
  5. Value and Price --> No profit, no proceeds.
  6. Involvement sale side --> Your successor will need your help.
  7. Emotions --> It's going to be a rollercoaster.
  8. Communication --> is key!

Thank you Jürg Heiniger, CEO, and Ferran Costa, chairman of the board, for having me at your inspiring congress.

I wish you and the inlingua family great success for the future and I hope to see you soon again.
