SmithBucklin has helped many organizations make a management transition. Our experience has allowed us to establish detailed and proven transition processes that are executed by specialists. Our turnkey approach also allows the transition to be an exciting time for volunteer leaders - a time during which they become renewed and reinvested in the future of their association. We have case histories evidencing our success on behalf of associations transitioning to SmithBucklin both from standalone operations, and from other management companies.
First, SmithBucklin presents a transition team with extensive experience. A dedicated transition leader is also assigned. He or she serves as the bridge between the SmithBucklin staff team, the board of directors and the current management and/or standalone staff team. Part of the transition leader's job is to review all facets of the move with client leaders and staff. The transition leader has overall responsibility and accountability of ensuring a professional, courteous and successful process.
Our main focus during the transition is on the organization's people, as well as its database, historical records, intellectual property, fixed assets and third-party relationships. We partner with volunteer leaders and current staff to transfer the knowledge, history and culture of the association with minimum disruption. And we use all of our resources to bring about a seamless transition, ensuring "business as usual" for members and stakeholders.
Our goal is to allow the board of directors to continue to focus on association business while our transition staff takes the lead on the transition process. Through extensive documentation and weekly communication, the SmithBucklin team keeps client leaders informed of progress until all tasks are completed and the client organization officially "opens its doors" at its new association headquarters.
