Key contents of the exit and transition plan
Business outcomes to be achieved
BPG work with you so that internal stakeholders are clear on the outcomes to be achieved, taking into account the specifics of each of the exit and transition steps.
Staff (TUPE and Secondment) transfers
We assist in understanding the remit and scope of staff transfers. This includes any re-training costs that may be necessary, relocation costs and staff replacement costs.

Your exit management plan should also include what happens to other areas such as software licences, intellectual property and technical support from your legacy supplier.
