Practical Succession Planning for Executives
5 days|Delivered on request
This is a hands-on programme. Delegates spend most of the time working through mergers and integration and performance dialogue on live scenarios rather than listening to theory about them. The practical emphasis is deliberate: the gap between a stated strategy and what the organisation actually does is where most value is lost, and reading about the method has repeatedly proved insufficient. Delegates leave able to work confidently with strategic planning, board reporting and negotiation at senior level in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Spot where strategic planning is failing before it becomes a finding, measured against the King IV governance code
- Take ownership of board reporting rather than escalating it
- Put negotiation at senior level on a footing they can defend to a reviewer
- Review executive decision making and say plainly whether it is working
