GOVERNANCE SUCCESSION DIAGNOSTIC

Continuity of governance for when people move on.

​

Board question: What happens when the people who carry governance leave?

​

A focused four-week diagnostic and board workshop to identify where a board's governance depends on individuals rather than systems.

​

Draws on Dr Mimi Ajibadé applies a governance-focused approach to continuity, institutional memory and leadership transition.

Deliverables

​​You receive:

  • A governance succession map

  • A board-ready report on continuity governance risk

  • A prioritised 90-day action plan with suggested owners

  • A board workshop

 

​For boards and governance teams facing leadership transition, growth or a thinning of institutional memory. Board governance advice, not executive search or HR succession planning.

​

Continuing support

The diagnostic can lead into a fractional advisory engagement.​​

Approach

01 Diagnostic
Map where oversight depends on specific individuals from governance roles, committee mandates, reporting arrangements and focused discussions.

02 Board workshop

Test the findings with the board: single points of failure, undocumented judgement, institutional memory and the continuity the board requires.

03 Handover
A board-ready report and action plan.

​

Four weeks from commencement to board workshop. 

​

Continuing support available through a fractional advisory engagement.

The Conversation

Governance rarely fails because a role becomes vacant. ​It fails because critical judgement, relationships and institutional memory leave with the individual.

​

The diagnostic identifies where governance depends on people rather than systems.

​

If succession is becoming a board concern, let's start there.
