The importance of Succession Planning cannot be overstated, especially as we witness a significant number of executives gearing up for retirement in the coming years. As one of the keynote speakers at the Kentucky Association of Private Providers (KAPP) Annual Conference, I delved into the critical topic of "Succession Planning: Positioning Your Organization for the Future." Shocking statistics reveal that only about 29% of organizations currently have a succession plan in place. This presents a pressing call to action for non-profit leaders, given that nearly 75% of executives are on the brink of retirement within the next five to seven years. Research underscores the resilience and enduring impact of social organizations with a strategic succession approach. These successful entities prioritize key elements such as fostering positive CEO and Board/owner partnerships, investing in leadership and management development, and setting strategic goals to ensure a seamless transition. Reflecting on these insights, it's crucial for organizations to assess and enhance their succession plans. What does your organization's succession strategy entail? What proactive steps can you initiate to bolster the development of a comprehensive succession plan across all levels? I am here to offer my support and guidance in navigating the realm of succession planning. Let's work together to cultivate a robust and sustainable succession framework for your organization's future. #strengthbasedculture #ShriverConsulting #CCMSPartners https://lnkd.in/eACXwGvT https://ccmspartners.com/
