Optimize succession by taking bias out of the equation

Even the world’s best governance structure isn’t enough if you don’t have the right people, competence and character in your boardroom or C-Suite. But identifying the best people for the job can be surprisingly challenging, because we’re often blind to how our unconscious biases impact our decision-making.

 This series was designed to help you optimize board and CEO succession by recognizing and overcoming the biases that could make you overlook top talent.

 You’ll learn:

• How cognitive bias impacts boards renewal choices – in both negative and positive ways
• How to address gender bias to improve problem-solving and increase profits
• How to remove racial bias in the boardroom and reduce harm to your organization and people
• How to build the optimal board in an unbiased way
• How to plan unbiased leadership and CEO succession at all 3 levels of succession.

Join us live via Zoom, every Wednesday at 1 p.m. from October 28 through December 2, 2020. Each session is roughly 60 minutes and includes time devoted to your questions.

Each online workshop was designed to be highly engaging and educational, with interactive sessions that give you the tools you need to build a more effective, unbiased succession plan.
