Chad Lusco

Business disruptions happen all the time, but thankfully there are some that businesses can and should prepare for, including leadership changes. Sound succession planning and future leader development are critical pieces of this equation.

Chad will walk through the key pillars of succession planning – from identifying critical roles and assessing current talent to developing potential successors – and how to protect your business from key leaders exists. He will also review strategies for mitigating the risks of key leader departures, including knowledge transfer and interim leadership plans.

And, of course, no succession plan would be complete without methods for identifying and nurturing future leaders within an organization.

Group discussions will address these important questions:

• What are the biggest challenges service organizations face with succession planning?
• How prepared is your organization for the unexpected exit of a key leader?
• What strategies have worked or not worked in developing future leaders at your organizations?
