How Ready Is Your Business to Survive Without You?

You have spent decades building something real — customers who trust you, veterans who have been with you since the beginning, a reputation earned on the shop floor. Now comes the hardest question: if you were unreachable for 30 days, what actually happens?

This free self-assessment gives you an honest answer in about 10 minutes. Twenty-five statements across five dimensions — decision-making, knowledge systems, successor readiness, operations, and people. Score each one 1–5. Your results calculate automatically.

No email required. No sales call. Just you, the spreadsheet, and the truth.

Most owners land between 40 and 70 out of 125. That puts them in the red or orange zone — meaning succession will fail under real pressure without structured intervention.

The numbers that make you uncomfortable are the ones that matter most.

ABOUT

Björn Vikard

Author. Family Business Succession Coach. Cross-Cultural Leadership Expert

Björn Vikard spent nearly two decades inside the aerospace industry — rising from CNC operator to Managing Director across six countries, including senior executive roles at Volvo Aero and GKN Aerospace. That journey, built on running operations, leading multicultural teams, and navigating the complexity of family-owned and founder-led businesses, became the foundation for everything he teaches today.

He is the author of Leading with Character Across Cultures, an Amazon Best Seller, and Don’t Exit Wrong — a practical guide for family business owners navigating succession without losing what they built. Both books draw directly from two decades of senior executive leadership — including Managing Director and COO roles — across Asia, Europe, and North America.

Today, Björn works with family-owned manufacturing businesses as the founder of The Anti-Consultant — helping owners protect their legacy, transfer leadership with intention, and exit on their own terms. His approach is structured, direct, and grounded in the realities of running an operationally

intensive business.

Born in Sweden. Based in Bangkok. Built in the field.
