Continuity in Turnover

Corporate partner Doug Raymond authored an article for Directors & Boards that highlights how, with the frequency of CEO recruitment processes becoming more common for boards, the need for strategic alignment has become even more vital.

Raymond notes how the challenges brought by the economy, global trade, the political situation, the growing ubiquity of generative AI and the calls to adopt more proactive ESG measures also add to the current landscape requiring extraordinary efforts and new skills on the part of directors and management.

Raymond emphasizes that, in this landscape, board members should seek continuity in corporate vision while adapting to the realities of modern CEO turnover, and that boards should actively embed strategic priorities into CEO hiring and onboarding decisions.
