What is the Enterprise-Class Succession Planning course about?

In regulated environments, unplanned leadership gaps can disrupt operations, delay audits, and expose governance weaknesses. Traditional 'just-in-case' lists lack the rigor needed for compliance alignment, stakeholder confidence, and seamless transitions. Without a structured, enterprise-grade approach, organizations risk continuity failures and missed strategic opportunities.
