From Succession Plans to Succession Readiness

Succession planning isn’t about replacing a person.
It’s about preparing an organization.

When done well, succession strengthens leadership capacity, clarifies structure, and prepares organizations to navigate transition without losing momentum. When done late—or treated as a document instead of a process—it creates confusion, risk, and unnecessary pressure.

At DRYVE Leadership Group, we help leaders move beyond succession plans toward succession readiness—the clarity, systems, and confidence needed to lead through transition well.

What Succession Readiness Requires

  • Time to prepare early and transfer knowledge well

  • Structure that clarifies roles, decision-making, and potential bottlenecks

  • People development that supports leaders through change

  • Systems that carry the work forward both internally and externally, not just individuals
