The Future of Leadership in the C-Suite

Executive succession has garnered increasing attention from Boards of Directors, CEOs, analysts and the media. Failures and miscues in making succession decisions have cost companies in expenses, missed growth opportunities and reputation. In spite of the fact that executive succession presents huge risks to corporations, little is known regarding the challenges, pitfalls and best practices. The sensitive nature of “behind the veil” processes has limited the ability to conduct detailed research into executive succession. Thus, the Center for Executive Succession was created to leverage the world-class faculty research capability and a unique corporate/academic partnership to provide cutting-edge knowledge in these areas.

The corporate/academic collaboration between CES and its partner companies will generate credible, unique and unbiased knowledge to further the effectiveness of executive succession practices in firms.
