Board Succession: how to decide who you need around the table – a conversation with Tanya Gass

How should Chairs and Nomination Committees determine what the board will need next?

How do you anticipate what your board might need in 2 or even 5 years’ time?

Has the business changed, and does the board still have the right balance of skills, experience and perspectives for the future?

Do you need stability or a fresh new perspective?

Most boards admit they don’t think they do succession planning well: effective succession is about more than replacing the next director to leave. It requires boards to look ahead, identify potential capability gaps, consider the boardroom mix in the round and think carefully about the timing and sequencing of future appointments alongside other events.

Join us for a conversation with Tanya Gass, Partner and Head of the Board Practice at Norman Broadbent, exploring how boards can take a more thoughtful and forward-looking approach to succession. Tanya advises companies on Chair and NED appointments, is an experienced corporate governance adviser and was formerly NED Recruitment Lead at Women on Boards UK.
