What is the Pragmatic Succession Planning course about?

Organizations that rely on individual high-performers risk disruption when those contributors transition. Without structured pathways for leadership continuity, innovation slows, team morale dips, and strategic agility erodes. Yet most succession planning remains rigid, HR-led, and disconnected from the fast-moving work of product, engineering, and growth teams.
