Succession Planning

Planning for the succession of your organization is a key leadership function that focuses on all issues relating to your organization’s continuity. Succession planning is unique in that everyone in the organization is potentially impacted by your succession plan and therefore has a vested interest in the outcome. This creates a planning environment that is complicated and emotionally charged. You will explore the key succession planning questions from a variety of perspectives and examine how decisions made from one perspective impact or influence the decisions in other perspectives. Succession planning is everybody’s business.
