We help firms prepare for leadership transition by strengthening both the business and the leaders expected to carry it forward.
Evaluate where the firm stands across the key dimensions that influence a successful transition.
Translate findings into a clear picture of risks, gaps, and next-step priorities.
Help emerging and current leaders build the clarity, confidence, and accountability needed to lead effectively through transition.
In many firms, the challenge is not just identifying the next generation of leaders. The real challenge is helping them grow into the role.
Transition often exposes gaps in confidence, communication, ownership, decision-making, and alignment. These issues are not solved by structure alone.
That is why Next Level Consulting includes coaching support within the broader transition readiness approach: to help leaders think more clearly, step up more effectively, and operate with greater confidence during periods of change.
Next Level Consulting works with AEC firm leaders navigating growth, succession, ownership transition, or leadership handoff.
Allen Toombs founded Next Level Consulting to help AEC firms address the leadership, operational, and organizational realities that sit underneath succession plans. His work focuses on whether a firm is truly ready to transition—not just in intent, but in structure, authority, and execution.
He brings an operator's perspective shaped by executive operations leadership and hands-on experience implementing EOS-based structure, accountability, and leadership discipline within organizations.
