For whom?
This solution is intended for experienced business owners who wish to gradually step back from day-to-day operations while retaining ownership of their company. It is ideal for those who do not want to sell their business, but wish to hand over operational management to a trusted executive.
Human challenges:
Transferring the reins without giving up ownership raises crucial questions:
- How to choose the right person?
- How to preserve the company’s momentum?
- How to stay informed without being omnipresent?
Our approach:
Binôme+ sets up a supervised pairing between the future manager (often a trusted executive or identified employee) and an experienced external manager. This pair works during a defined transition period (6 to 12 months), under the supervision of a neutral third party. The goal is to secure the ramp-up of responsibilities, establish clear framework, and maintain organizational stability.
Preliminary assessment assisted by AI:
Even before formalizing the process, the candidate who is to take leadership undergoes a thorough evaluation using AI-assisted assessment tools. This step makes it possible to measure their managerial skills, their posture, and how compatible they are with the intended role. The owner can thus make an informed choice.
Strategic support:
The experienced manager plays an operational mentoring role. They guide the future leader in key decisions, help them assert themselves gradually, and intervene when needed to defuse tensions.
Regular reports are submitted to the owner, providing visibility without interference: the owner stays informed, but can truly take a step back.
The benefits:
- A smooth transfer of managerial authority, without loss of control
- A secure framework, based on objective data (AI assessment)
- Strategic support for the person taking over responsibilities
- Peace of mind for the owning leader
- A team reassured by the clarity of the process
