Resonance Information

Succession planning names the successors. It rarely makes them ready. Resonance Leadership Advisory gets high-potential leaders ready to step up – and proves it with independent measurement. We work with CHROs, CPOs and Heads of L&D across South Africa and the UK. Most leadership advisory firms are built to find you leaders. We build the ones you already have. Our Succession Readiness System works in five stages: Define – the capability your strategy demands of your talent Assess – the gap between your bench and what your strategy needs Accelerate – capability built by doing the work, ending with your talent pitching the result to ExCo Land – the organisation set up to receive the leaders you built Prove – who is ready to step up, and growth plans for those who aren’t It starts with a sixty-minute value-at-stake session, at no fee, that puts a figure on what an unready bench is costing you – one your CFO can test. After that, you commit one stage at a time. We’re principal-led: one advisor is accountable from diagnosis to measurement and is in the room when your ExCo hears the results, with named specialists behind every stage. And we don’t mark our own homework – capability, behaviour, business impact and ROI are measured by an independent third party. Clients include Grant Thornton, MTN, Glencore, FirstRand Bank, Discovery, Nestlé, Investec, Wellhub, The Co-op, Ports of Jersey and Volkswagen. We also host Succession – How Power Changes Hands, a podcast with the people who handed over, took over or were passed over. Start with a conversation: david@resonance.global
