Succession Planning Must Start at Board Level

Many organisations focus on executive succession, but board succession is just as important. Without planning, board transitions can lead to knowledge gaps, weakened oversight, and reduced momentum.

Effective board succession planning considers skills, tenure, diversity, and future strategic needs. It ensures that new appointments support continuity while refreshing the board with new capabilities.
