What is the silver transition and how is it reshaping business succession planning?

A profound demographic shift is underway. As the baby boomer generation retires, companies around the world are preparing for a change of ownership. In the US alone, an estimated $84 trillion will be transferred to the next generation by 2045 – the so-called silver transition. Much of this wealth will be tied up in businesses since half of all private companies in the US are owned by people approaching retirement.
