Unlocking Organizational Potential: Mastering Succession Planning Strategies

Succession planning is the process of identifying the critical positions within your organization and developing action plans for individuals to assume those positions. It ensures that businesses continue to run smoothly and without interruption, after important people move on to new opportunities, retire, or pass away. Taking a holistic view of current and future goals, this type of preparation ensures that you have the right people in the right jobs today and in the years to come.

Join the Salt Lake Chamber for a virtual panel discussion on what succession planning looks like within an organization and learn what steps to take to include it in your strategic plans.
