Succession Planning

Succession Planning focuses on the Board’s primary responsibility of ensuring that excellent leadership is in place at all times.

A thoughtful and intentional planning process is crucial for any organization to be prepared for the potential departure of a leader.

KEES can walk your Board through that process.

We work with the Executive Committee and/or identified Board leadership to form an Succession Planning Committee.
We facilitate and assist with all planning meetings.
We interface with key stakeholders in confidential conversations.
We then 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.
