Leadership transitions are one of the most critical moments for any organization. Get succession planning right, and you ensure stability, credibility, and confidence; get it wrong, and you risk chaos and value destruction. But who is truly responsible for this vital process?

Michele Kythe Lim, President & CEO of ICDM, and Tunku Alizakri Alias, a multi-company independent director, argue that succession planning is a strategic board imperative, not just an HR function, and requires a transparent, formalised process to succeed.

We discuss:

• Why succession planning and picking CEOs is the board's most important strategic job.

• The key indicators of a successful leadership transition.

• Lessons from global succession stories like Apple and Disney.

• The crucial role of independent directors in ensuring objectivity.

• The different challenges in PLCs, GLCs, and family-owned businesses.

  For board members, CEOs, and HR leaders tasked with building resilient organisations, this is key insight into future-proofing leadership and ensuring long-term sustainability.
