Leadership transitions are inevitable, but disruption does not have to be. A strong Board ensures organizational continuity by being prepared for change before it happens. Succession Planning focuses on the Board’s primary responsibility of ensuring excellent leadership is in place at all times.
KEES helps Boards proactively plan for leadership transitions through a thoughtful, intentional, and confidential process that prepares your organization for whatever comes next.
We can:
- Work with the Executive Committee and/or identified Board leadership to form an Succession Planning Committee.
- Facilitate and assist with all planning meetings.
- Interface with key stakeholders in confidential conversations.
- Draft a Leadership Transition Plan that is tailored to your organization’s specific needs.
The most effective Succession Planning process occurs in the six months preceding an active search for a new leader.
At a minimum, 90 days can be utilized to conduct the Succession Planning before a search commences.
Is your Board ready to ensure leadership continuity and long-term success? Contact KEES today to schedule a confidential consultation and start building your Succession Plan.
