Succession Planning & Readiness

About this webinar

In times of constant change, organisations that thrive are those that prepare leaders at every level to step up with confidence. Succession isn’t just about planning for the next role – it’s about building resilience by equipping individuals and organisations with the skills and mindset to respond to transition, uncertainty, and opportunity.

This interactive webinar will explore how you can strengthen both personal and organisational readiness for the future. We’ll look at the leadership characteristics that make the biggest difference during periods of transition, and how organisations can foster a culture that supports growth and adaptability.

The session also introduces Cranfield’s portfolio of General Management Programmes, which are designed to develop leaders at every stage of their career. Through the lens of succession resilience, we’ll show how these programmes help individuals and organisations prepare for what’s next.
