Homework: CapraTek: Succession Planning
Overview
There are thousands of founder-based organizations in the private and not-for-profit sectors in the United States, and these organizations have been built over decades of hard work and long-term commitment. However, stubbornly holding on to business conditions that were present during an organization's origination and first decades can threaten the organization's future. Successful change is always the product of extensive knowledge, experience, and expertise. You are a new HR professional hired to replace a long-tenured HR director who has now been tasked with creating an organizational succession plan.
