Succession Architecture™: Designing Leadership Continuity Without Burnout or Chaos

SKILLS

Succession planning is no longer a static HR exercise; it is an enterprise risk and resilience discipline. In this fast-paced, highly practical 30-minute Skills Lab, Prudence Pitter, HR strategist and leadership coach will teach you how to shift from replacement-based succession learning to Succession Architecture™, a future-focused approach that protects leadership continuity, prevents burnout, and sustains business performance.

Using simplified diagnostic framework, attendees will assess where their organization is most exposed; from “ready-now” gaps and fragile pipelines to overreliance on a few high performers. This session reframes succession as a leadership vitality and governance issue, versus a talent process, and introduces three critical pillars: continuity & risk, readiness & development, and governance & strategy.

You will leave with:

  • A clear understanding of the most common succession failure points

  • A practical 90-day reset you can apply immediately, whether you’re building from scratch or strengthening an existing approach

This Skills Lab is designed for HR and business leaders who want succession plans that actually hold under pressure.
