SUMMARY:Building a Contingency Plan for an Unexpected CEO Departure
DESCRIPTION:Course Description:  \nNonprofit organizations face many risks that can damage an organization’s hard-earned reputation\, deplete financial assets\, and generally cause operational mayhem. One often-ignored risk is the possibility of an unexpected departure of the “chief staff” position (CEO\, Executive Director\, etc.). Organizations that have risk mitigation procedures and contingency plans in place will fare better than organizations that are caught off guard. \nIn this presentation we will discuss actions and tactics you can use to lower risk and key success. We will discuss how to develop a set of contingency plans and document related action steps for an unexpected CEO departure through assembling basic risk mitigation procedures and tactical applications and documenting them in a formal written contingency plan. We will also discuss the important complimentary differences between organizational succession planning and CEO transition planning. We will conclude with a discussion on appointing an interim CEO allowing for time to work through a thoughtful 10-step CEO succession and transition plan. \n  \nLearning Objectives: \nIdentify key considerations for effectively responding to an unexpected CEO departure. \nAnalyze potential risks that may arise when the CEO position is vacant and how to mitigate these risks both to operational continuity and the organization’s reputation. \nDescribe the essential components of a contingency plan designed to ensure smooth interim operations and communication during executive leadership transitions. \nDifferentiate between organizational succession planning and CEO transition planning\, and explain how appointing an interim CEO supports a structured\, 10-step succession and transition process. \n  \nTo Watch this Webinar on the Media Library CLICK HERE! \n \n
