Why this matters
Transition success is rarely about one big moment. It’s the accumulation of dozens of small, high-stakes decisions made under time pressure. This playbook is designed to reduce uncertainty, protect client continuity, and help you move from “considering” to “executing” with confidence.
Why teams stumble
