Project details

What we need
  • 3-5 one hour strategy sessions with a change management professional covering topics like identifying key positions and successors, transition timelines, and action planning for developing existing staff for leadership roles
  • Coaching on how to engage senior leaders and key funders, and strategies for gaining the commitment of board members and staff to manage a planned or an unexpected transition intentionally
Additional details

I would like support on how to structure the succession plan. I have been with the organization for over ten years and care about the business's well-being. I would like to transition out knowing the next Program Manager has the necessary tools to succeed.

What we have in place
  • We do not have anything solid in place currently. We have a manual for each executive position describing the role, responsibilities, and brief timeline. I am looking to further develop what we have or utilize a different system that will allow for a seamless transition.
How this will help
This project will save us $4,198 , allowing us to continue having high-quality managerial employees that are passionate about the mission and goals of ConnectiKids.

ConnectiKids is a small organization with about 10 staff total but serves over 300 students annually. We want to ensure when onboarding passionate people to work with us that they have a resource guide that will help get them acclimated to the position and the community we serve.
