Are You Ready?: Succession Planning Done Right

Smart succession planning is more important than ever whether you are facing senior staff retirement or other staffing changes (e.g., unexpected absences). Succession planning also pays dividends in other ways—helping you identify and develop talent among current staff, strengthening DEI initiatives, and building a strong bench for future projects. This program explores the value of developing a plan, including getting support from senior leadership and developing documentation to guide a successor. We will focus on the nuts and bolts—identifying what you need to include, designing a plan, and keys to successful implementation—so you are ready to get to work.

Target Audience:

Managers, directors, and other staff tasked with leading projects and teams. While this program will focus on succession planning, the broader staff development that naturally occurs as part of enacting a succession plan can benefit an organization more generally.
