  • Patent number: 8533017
    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are described for determining a succession planning track for a registered investment advisor. A server generates a plurality of paired statement sets associated with business and personal goals, and each statement in the statement sets is associated with one or more succession planning tracks. The server receives a statement selection for each set of paired statements, determines one or more preliminary tracks, and generates a first set of business and personal value statements associated with the preliminary tracks. The server receives a priority ranking for at least two of the value statements and determines one or more intermediate tracks. The server generates a checklist with a second set of value statements associated with the intermediate tracks. The server receives a set of responses to the second set of value statements, determines a final track, and generates a succession action plan corresponding to the final track.
