Overview:
The Construction Association of Nova Scotia (CANS), in partnership with Rumin8 Group, invites you to a practical Lunch & Learn focused on one of the biggest challenges facing the construction industry: building the next generation of leaders.
Experienced leaders are retiring, skilled talent is increasingly difficult to replace, and too much critical knowledge often sits with a small number of key people.
The question isn’t whether your workforce will change. It’s whether your organization is ready for it.
This session will explore how construction organizations can move from reactive replacement planning to a proactive succession strategy that strengthens leadership pipelines, creates clearer career paths, protects critical knowledge, and prepares the business for future growth.
What We'll Explore:
- · The future of succession planning in construction
- · Where organizations are most exposed to succession and leadership risk
- · Moving from reactive replacement planning to a proactive strategy
- · Creating career clarity that helps retain and develop future leaders
- · Connecting organizational design with leadership and career pathways
- · Practical tools to identify critical roles, assess readiness and build your succession pipeline
Whos Should Attend?
Owners, executives, HR leaders, operations leaders, project leaders and construction professionals responsible for developing people and preparing their organizations for the future.
Don’t wait until a key person leaves to start thinking about who comes next.
Join CANS and Rumin8 Group to start building the leadership pipeline your organization will need for what’s next.
Facilitator: Dave Reynolds, CEO (The Rumin8 Group)
