  • Event lasts 2 hours 30 minutes

Future-proof your business! Do you have a backup plan?

Join us for this practical session, designed for HR professionals and business owners, and learn more about effective succession planning.

Succession planning is a key activity for any business as it helps an organisation to understand the skillsets of its staff, where they have opportunities for internal development and where they need to recruit to meet future demands.

This engaging session helps small and medium businesses plan for leadership changes, talent gaps, and the unexpected — without the overwhelm. Succession planning isn't just for CEOs — it's essential for business continuity at every level.

In this 2-hour interactive workshop, we’ll use tools and case studies to demystify succession planning and show you how to protect your business, support your people, and plan for the future, no matter what stage you are at.

What you'll learn:

  • A working draft of a simple succession plan
  • Insights on how to spot and grow internal talent
  • Templates, checklists, and confidence to take action

This hands-on session will equip you with impactful, real-world tips to help you develop internal talent, ensuring business continuity. You will leave with simple, actionable steps to implement right away!
