Challenge
Signs you need a leadership transition plan
A leadership transition is approaching — planned or unplanned — and the organisation has no succession plan, no process, and no safeguards in place.
How a Nonprofit Builder consultant helps
- Review existing succession provisions, facilitate a transition planning process with the board, support the handover design, and advise on the recruitment or interim arrangements.
Key deliverables
- Succession policy, transition risk assessment, handover plan, board communication guide, recruitment brief or interim specification.
