Succession Planning Ontario Non Profit Leadership Change Development |

What is succession planning?

Succession planning is a deliberate, whole-system strategy that engages the organization in an effort to ensure leadership continuity in key positions, to retain intellectual and knowledge capital for the future and foster development of the organization and its members. This is organization development.

Succession plans include all the thinking, planning, preparations and activities that take place in anticipation of and before the announcement of a leader’s definite departure.

Transition planning contains all the thinking, planning, preparations and activities that take place immediately following the announcement of a leader’s departure as of a given date. This is a function of human resources.
