What is the Scalable Succession Planning course about?
Public-sector programs often rely on a small number of key individuals. When those individuals move on, institutional memory fades, compliance risks rise, and project momentum stalls. Traditional succession plans are reactive, under-resourced, or siloed, leaving organizations vulnerable to disruption just when continuity matters most.
