RIA Lab: Talent Development & Succession Planning

APRIL 6, 2023 | VIRTUAL
11:00am - 12:45pm ET

Financial advisors have a knack for helping clients plan for their futures. However, a surprising number fail to think about the future of their own practices. Whether your ideal succession plan is an internal succession or an external sale, hiring and training the right people for your team is integral for a successful succession. In the next RIA Lab, we’ll explore the main areas of talent development, sourcing, training, and retaining, as well as what other areas should be considered when developing an effective and strategic succession plan.

Join us at the next RIA Lab and walk away with a better understanding of how to intentionally develop talent for a successful M&A event or internal Succession Plan.
