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.

What we do

Our primary clients are founders, families, partners, boards of directors and their chief executive officers and executive directors, specifically in the nonprofit sector, where succession-planning issues are the primary concern.

Our organization development consultants help identify and address a variety of different challenges linked to leadership continuity, but we are best known for our work as succession planners in the nonprofit sector.
