Leadership Succession Strategy & Business Planning

Future-Proof Your Organization with Strategic Leadership Development
At Neal McIntyre Consulting, I help organizations move beyond reactive succession planning to build leadership pipelines that align with long-term business strategy. Succession isn’t just about filling roles - it’s about ensuring your organization is equipped to thrive through change, growth, and complexity.
Why Succession Planning Must Be Strategic
Too often, succession planning is treated as a checklist item or emergency response. But when integrated with business planning, it becomes a powerful tool for continuity, innovation, and resilience. My approach connects leadership development directly to your organization’s mission, market position, and future goals.

Why It Matters
Leadership succession is business planning. When done right, it protects your mission, preserves institutional knowledge, and positions your organization for long-term success.
