Darrell Beck, Ph.D., CMC, has more than thirty years of business consulting experience spanning a diverse base of client organizations. Darrell partners with family business leaders to understand their vision for succession planning and development of leadership. He then determines the skills and traits that will be necessary for that vision to become reality and assesses the talent, often younger family members but sometimes including key employees outside the family, to determine 'fit' with the values of the family and the traits needed for job success. Fit is the match or congruence between the individual (skills, personality, cognitive style, cognitive ability, emotional intelligence, and values) and the requirements of a position in the family business. Bringing young family members into the business, developing tomorrow's leaders, ensuring next generation succession–all rely on predictions of fit, and bad predictions are both costly and painful. Dr. Beck's extensive experience and credentials in the use of assessment tools can help families make better choices in these areas. He also has extensive experience with successor coaching and individual development plans, enabling the family and the individual to monitor progress and readiness. Darrell's partners in the Aspen Family Business Group provide additional expertise, allowing for broad spectrum coverage of family business consulting needs.
