Ready or Not? The Power of Succession Planning

Only 27% of organizations are truly prepared for leadership transitions, are you one of them? Whether it’s a planned handoff or an unexpected shift, the difference between readiness and chaos can define your organization’s future. In this session, we’ll explore what “ready” really means, uncover the risks of ignoring succession planning, and identify the steps to build a clear, confident path forward. You’ll learn how to engage key players – from board members to donors – and use a VUCA (Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, Ambiguity) lens to find allies who can champion the process. Succession planning isn’t optional anymore; it’s your insurance policy that helps guarantee stability, continuity, and long-term success.
