Succession Planning Sessions

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

Our organization is in need of a clear succession plan that outlines how to proceed due to loss of leadership at various levels, whether foreshadowed or sudden.

What we have in place
  • We currently have a need to create this plan from scratch, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have a very responsive management team, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $4,198 , allowing us to reallocate those funds toward our current advocacy projects and services.

Our organization is light with regard to high-level leadership positions, but heavy on mid-level leadership. This could make it difficult for a steady transition of leadership in the future.
