SME Directors briefing: Succession Planning

Without succession planning, a successful business can easily fail.

Business owners need to think long, hard and strategically about their successor to ensure that there is a smooth continuation of the business once he or she retires or leave the company.

While succession plans usually focus on CEOs and senior executives, they're equally beneficial for boards. The aim is to have the right person able to fill the vacancy at the right time.
