From the author: Greater board activism is needed in the area of CEO continuity planning if boards are to meet their governance obligations. Proposed is a strategic continuity approach that is tied to the use of outside, third party consultants to monitor the process.

From the supplier: Continuity planning is now reiterated as a function of the executive board, in the advent of stiff industrial competition strategically affected by corporate succession decisions, and downsizing of possible candidates for executive positions. The recommended strategic planning involves evaluating possible successors in line with the foreseeable changes in the organization. Likewise, the responsibility of the board includes participation in assessing and honing of candidates' abilities towards the realization of company objectives.
