Demonstrates sound corporate governance
A well-run CEO succession demonstrates to investors, customers, and employees that the board takes its responsibilities seriously, building the reputation of the company and its board.

A robust approach to CEO succession increases the company’s capacity to deliver performance in a rapidly
changing landscape and creates a competitive advantage.
Ensures a future-focus
A well-run CEO succession process enables the company to look beyond the current CEO’s tenure, anticipate what is needed moving forward, and equip the next leaders to successfully navigate a rapidly evolving external landscape.
Mitigates risk
An effective succession plan ensures that the company is prepared for any eventuality and reduces the risk of poorly managed transitions, instability, or business decline. This preparedness is essential in today’s volatile business environment.
Ensures the right person
for the job
A robust process allows the board and the company to identify, develop, and select the best candidate, ensuring that the next CEO has the capabilities to lead the company and drive its success.
