What is the Risk-Managed Succession Planning course about?
Even well-resourced public-sector programs face instability when leadership transitions are reactive or poorly documented. The cost isn’t just operational, it can affect stakeholder trust, compliance standing, and long-term program viability. Traditional succession planning often lacks integration with risk frameworks, leaving teams exposed during handovers.
