Listen "Transition Planning"
Episode Synopsis
If you aren’t already planning for how different roles within your group can transition between people, you need to be.
Podcast Topics
Scouter Ken is joined by Scouter Corey - the outgoing Group Commissioner for the 59th Edmonton Scout Group - to discuss the importance of planning for how to transition people out of (and into!) roles within a Scout Group.
Transition planning takes many forms. Ideally, the outgoing role holder should mentor the incoming member to make sure that there’s a full handover of knowledge and processes. But this needs to be backstopped by a digital infrastructure that allows for data to be easily moved between people as well; email accounts, documents, cloud storage, etc. all need to be able to move from one person to the next as well.
