The Flight Risk Assessment
Clarity in 2 weeks—not 2 months.
The Risk No One Modeled
Due diligence covered the numbers.
Who covered the people?
The deal gets analyzed in exhaustive detail—financials, operations, market position. But talent risk—who actually creates the value, and what happens when they leave—rarely gets the same rigor.
The Assessment
Know who’s at risk before they’re gone.
A focused engagement that gives you clarity on your talent risk—and a concrete plan to address it.
Key Talent Identification
A clear map of critical roles and the individuals whose departure would materially impact operations, client relationships, and the value of the business.
Flight Risk Assessment
Individual risk assessment based on role criticality, market demand, retention indicators, and early warning signals.
Cost-of-Loss Calculation
Dollar-value impact for each key talent departure—so you can make informed decisions about retention investment.
Retention Action Plan
Prioritized recommendations with specific intervention strategies—not a 50-page report, but a playbook you need to act on to keep your key people.
Who This Is For
CEOs & Executive Teams
You’re leading through the change—and you can’t afford to lose the people who actually make the business work.

About
Jenn Barr, SPHR
After watching a company lose half its value in the year after a sale—not because the numbers were wrong, but because the wrong people walked out the door—I stopped assuming anyone was asking the hard questions about talent.
The financial side gets exhaustive due diligence—the models, the projections, the numbers. But almost no one validates who actually creates the value they just paid for.
I’ve spent 26 years helping organizations navigate high-stakes transitions—restructures, integrations, leadership changes. What I’ve learned: the difference between a deal that delivers and one that destroys value almost always comes down to people decisions made in the first 90 days.
