Scripps Expert Shares Tips on Succession Planning with Trustee Magazine

Scripps Health uses succession planning to address change in the industry.

Succession planning is a common tool used to ensure leadership continuity and organizational success. However, despite its importance, succession planning is lacking in many hospitals and healthcare organizations today.

Similarly, only 51 percent said they conduct succession planning for other top leadership roles.


Victor Buzachero shares his insight with Trustee Magazine on how Scripps Health uses succession planning to create a stable, deliberate process that creates executive continuity and addresses change in the industry.
