What is the Modern Operating Leader Succession Planning course about?

Organizations with multiple operating sites often face inconsistent leadership handovers, resulting in performance variance, compliance exposure, and lost continuity. Traditional succession approaches fail to account for site-specific context, regulatory variation, and leadership scalability. Without a structured, repeatable model, even high-potential leaders struggle to maintain alignment across locations.
