What happens when the unthinkable occurs and suddenly the board must step up, and step in, to fill an unexpected “leadership gap” due to a serious break down in management—or front-page news scandal?

It could be the death, criminal conduct or the unexpected resignation of a CEO, a severe crisis or situation where the CEO is faltering, or a take-over bid or circumstance where the CEO needs to recues him/herself.

• Could it happen to your board? Expect it or not -- it could! This program will highlight how a board deals with these big problems, and the roles directors will be called upon to play.


• Do you have someone on the board with the right skills to step in, in the interim? If no, then what? What is the chairman’s role?


• What are the signals that it is time to step in? Sometimes there are yellow or red flags of the impending crash—but often there is no warning—and it is “succession planning in the extreme”.


• Are you prepared for the sudden, sometimes dramatic, increase in board work and activity (on top of your “real” job)?

Think it can’t happen to your board? Come and hear from those who thought the same way… You will get a fascinating peek inside the companies and boardrooms of the panelists during the dramatic decision-making process and hear from insiders what really went on, and how they emerged.

This up-to-the-minute program will be topical, dynamic and loaded with war-stories relevant to the needs of directors and officers in turbulent times!
