This Emergency Leadership Succession Planning Workshop provided valuable concepts and tools for creating a thoughtful, comprehensive plan. Andria Spindel, President & CEO, March of Dimes Canada

Succession planning is something I’ve thought about for quite some time but didn’t know where to start. You made the process so easy. Now I have peace of mind. Diane McKinnon, Executive Director, Renfrew County Community Futures Development

The Emergency Leadership Planning workshop was a great learning experience. I got to discuss everything about the future with my ED that we don’t ever get a chance to discuss. Thank you.

HERE'S WHAT THEY SAY

It has been a year since I took the Emergency Leadership Planning Workshop and the application of the program has paid off in spades. Now we have three designates for the CEO position. The Emergency Leadership Planning process provided the template we used to turn our back-up actions into career development action succession plans. Weighing the cost of hiring consultants to do this against the price of the workshop, is was a great value. Thank you Linda for simplifying a complex process.
Bob Cerniuk, Chief Executive Officer, Carefor Health & Community Services

We are a not-for-profit organization with one employee, me, and half time at that!  You can see why emergency leadership planning is so important to us. I'm happy to say we set and met our goal for completing the plan within one year. Linda was very generous with her time.  She reviewed our plan and gave us suggestions about things we hadn't thought about. I'd highly recommend this process to any company and certainly for not-for-profit organizations! Working with Linda was a pleasure.
Terry Mactaggart, Program Coordinator, Niagara-on-the-Lake Community Palliative Care Service

The CMHA - Sudbury Manitoulin has used Make Things Happen for both the Emergency Leadership Planning for Nonprofit Corporations and Succession Planning for Staff Positions processes for our agency.

We recommend hiring the services of Make Things Happen and have found the experience beneficial to our organization.

PRESENTATION DETAILS

This is a four hour, hands-on workshop where you will receive a turn key toolkit to put together an action plan for a unexpected, short-term succession plan for your agency's ED and get the resources you need to develop policies and procedures for unexpected long-term and permanent situations. 

Benefits:

  • 69-page workbook ensures a succession policy is in place within 2 weeks to 9 months
  • Peace of mind for boards of directors, CEOs, staff, clients, volunteers, membership and funders
  • Protects financial resources - replacing a leader on the fly costs more money, takes more time and increases the chances of making a poor hiring decision
  • Protects human resources - leaders leave, in fact 60% of all leaders will leave their current positions within the next five years. Only 14% of those will retire - 46% will career-ladder out of the organization
  • Ensure service continuance - leadership vacancy may jeopardize service delivery and destabilize operations
  • Emergency Leadership Planning is an in-person, face-to-face workshop that provides capacity and team building for Boards of Directors, CEOs and key staff members
  • Builds Community Leadership by ensuring leadership continuity 


Board members, executive directors, chief operating officers and chief executive officers of nonprofit and charitable corporations, foundations and associations are invited to attend. Perfect for those involved in an accreditation process.

SPECIAL OFFER
When you register for this Emergency Leadership Planning workshop you may register a second person as your guest. You may invite a board member, a colleague, COO, another executive director from your organization or another agency— anyone that would have a need or interest in senior leadership succession planning. This is a wonderful opportunity to include an associate AT NO ADDITIONAL CHARGE!

Cost — $399 includes materials
