Succession Planning Checklist

A one-page succession checklist a board chair can complete in an afternoon

The one-page succession checklist boards actually use.

A succession plan lives or dies on whether the board pulls it out during a crisis. This one-pager is short on purpose — every field is one a board chair can answer in an afternoon, and nothing is included that would be out of date within twelve months.

What’s inside

  • One-page emergency succession checklist with named-role fields
  • The four decisions that need to be made before the crisis, not during
  • A short interim-ED brief covering the first ten things they need to know
  • Notes on when to invoke the plan versus wait 24 hours

You may not need this if: You have a current succession plan reviewed in the last twelve months.
