SUMMARY:Partner Program: Succession Planning: Creating a Plan to Preserve Your Team's Wisdom
DESCRIPTION:NOTE: This is a partner program through the National Council of Nonprofits\, not hosted by Nonprofit Connect. \n\nLeaders know that the most important assets in their organization log off and go home at the end of every day   and one day   they won't come back. Whether due to retirement or resignation\, for happy or sad reasons\, a Knowledge Exodus is inevitable. To sustain your impact and avoid the frustration of having to relearn how to succeed\, nonprofit organizations must understand the value of their team's knowledge and proactively preserve it.\n\nIn this session\, we'll explore how to identify and preserve institutional knowledge. Attendees will learn proven frameworks and practice building a prioritized action plan. By the end of the session\, attendees will have their own roadmap and know the specific next step to take to reduce their risk.\n\nThis workshop is designed for nonprofit leaders who want to strengthen their organization's resilience and reduce single points of risk. No need for a new platform or big initiative. Just simple\, strategic steps your team can take starting now.\n\nAttendees will be able to:\n\n\n	Describe and prioritize the specific people and institutional knowledge that matters most to their success\n	Select the best tools and approaches to preserving wisdom   most of which they likely already own and use\n	Build 30-day and 12-month plans for knowledge retention that are achievable and impactful\n\n\n \n\nSpeaker Information\n\n \n\n \n\n\n\n\nBen Bomar is the founder and president of Lithyus Group\, a Minnesota based consulting firm that helps organizations celebrate and preserve the wisdom of key people before it's lost. With over 20 years of leadership experience across corporate\, nonprofit\, and entrepreneurial sectors\, Ben brings a practical yet strategic lens to succession planning\, institutional knowledge transfer\, and organizational resilience.\n\nHe is the developer of the STONE framework\, a proven model for building knowledge continuity without adding complexity. A regular speaker and contributor on leadership transitions and continuity planning\, Ben is known for his ability to coach leaders through change while helping them build systems that last.
