We just had the third session in our 2026 Thought Leadership Webinar Series, where Convene presented Succession & Director Renewal: What Will Your Board Do Next. We explored what contemporary succession governance actually looks like and what your board can do differently.

Questions We Discussed:

Does our Board have a formal succession plan that has been reviewed in the last 12 months?
Have we mapped the capabilities we will need for 2028 and built them into our next Director recruitment brief?
Does every Director on our Board know the organisation's CEO and Executive succession plan?

Webinar Series Objectives:

Understood the common Contemporary Governance challenges faced by organisations
Got equipped with insight needed to proactively address these risks
Provided your board and governing leadership team with the provision of the 2025 White Paper Download
Got invited to attend ongoing webinars with industry experts
