What is the Modern Succession Planning for Multi-Site course about?
Traditional succession planning is reactive and centralized, failing to account for regional variance, skill mobility, or emerging leadership capacity across sites. In dynamic, geographically dispersed environments, this leads to misalignment, delayed transitions, and over-reliance on a few key individuals. Without a systematic approach, even high-performing programs face fragility when leadership shifts occur unexpectedly.
