Conditions for Success: Deepening What We Know An Open Space Dialogue on Executive Transition Management and Succession Planning

Facilitators: Tim Wolfred, CompassPoint; Tom Adam, TransitionGuides

Executive Transitions Management (ETM) is a set of consulting tools and protocols that were developed with funding from the Annie E. Casey Foundation by a collaborative of nonprofit consultants.  ETM is designed to help nonprofit agencies to take advantage of the capacity building opportunities that arise when their CEO’s are departing.  This "town hall" session is designed to give ETM consultants a chance to share lessons learned in their transition work as well as to suggest refinements to the ETM model based on outcomes with their ETM clients.
