Executive Search
Great leaders are critical to the success of any organization, but retaining strong leadership is often overlooked. We help our clients develop a talent strategy that strengthens their organization and supports their goals.
“Working with Christoph was a standout experience. He brought a rare balance of calm confidence, strong process leadership, and emotional intelligence. We especially appreciated his ability to keep us on track with patience and respect, and his structured approach made candidate evaluation clear and effective. Christoph’s preparation was excellent, and the candidate pool he presented was very strong. His ability to listen, guide, and adapt made all the difference. Having worked with many search professionals, I can say Christoph is among the best. We would absolutely work with The Discovery Group again.”

Succession Planning
A properly designed and well-executed succession plan is the start of any successful transition. We support organizations in developing thoughtful, future-focused succession plans that ensure leadership continuity and long-term success. Our plans help maintain momentum between leaders, create organizational stability, keep the Board informed, and align senior leadership development with the strategic needs of the organization.
CEO Reviews
We help organizations implement an annual, structured evaluation to help Boards assess CEO performance in a timely, clear, and focused way. This helps align organizational performance, goals, mission, and values, and sets organizations up to achieve their strategic objectives.
