Succession planning is critical for ensuring the continuity of your business or organisation beyond the current leadership. Whether it’s passing the reins to family, employees, or external buyers, forward planning safeguards your business’s future and contributes to regional economic stability.

In this session of the Masterclass Series for Business, we’ll explore why continuity planning is vital, not only for your business but also for your own peace of mind. We’ll discuss how performance management plays an important part in this process, and you’ll learn practical succession pathways to help you prepare for a successful handover.
