Succession Planning - LLSC

This Overview is part of the Succession Planning for Literacy and Basic Skills Agencies and Networks - Toolkit, available at: http://library.copian.ca/item/8611.

The report sets out the process for ensuring the continuity of good literacy and basic skills service in a community as new members join a Literacy Community Planning (LCP) committee. This “succession planning” involves making sure that crucial history, information, initiatives and decisions are documented.

As managers of Literacy and Basic Skills (LBS) agencies approach retirement, the issue of succession planning becomes increasingly important. This report provides tools to allow LBS agencies, both large and small, to continue serving learners while implementing staff replacement resulting from retirement, transition or unforeseen circumstances.
