Joining him is Dr. Olusola Abimbola Joseph, FCIPM , a seasoned HR professional and career development expert, for a conversation on succession planning and its importance in building organisations that can survive leadership transitions, retain institutional knowledge, and remain sustainable for the long term. The discussion examines how organisations can identify and develop future leaders, create effective talent pipelines, and ensure that growth and performance do not depend on a single individual. ## Actions - request_transcript: `POST https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/lagos-talks-913-4201276/episodes/the-office-succession-planning-the-key-to-organisational-sustainability/transcription-requests` — Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode. - read_markdown: `GET https://stenobird.com/podcast/lagos-talks-913-4201276/the-office-succession-planning-the-key-to-organisational-sustainability.md` — Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource.
