Succession Planning & The Strategic Board

Succession planning is a critical priority for modern boards, requiring a careful balance between leadership continuity and long-term strategic direction. Boards play a central role in shaping composition, ensuring the right mix of skills and experience, and adapting governance frameworks to support evolving business needs.

This session will bring together board and executive perspectives to explore how organisations can effectively plan for succession while maintaining strong strategic oversight.

What we’ll cover:

  • The board’s role in overseeing succession planning and safeguarding long-term strategy.
  • Approaches to shaping board composition and aligning capability with future strategic priorities.
  • Strategies for managing leadership transition while maintaining organisational stability.
  • How boards can evolve governance frameworks to respond to changing business environments.

Guests are invited to join us in-person in our Adelaide office followed by networking drinks. The 60-minute presentation will also be live streamed online.

As The Dynamic Board Series sessions apply the Chatham House Rule, this webinar will not be recorded and will not be available to view at a later date.

The presentation is open to all organisations, excluding other legal service providers.
