To provide background information on succession practices and be of assistance to companies performing the critical task of ensuring a smooth leadership turnover, CEO Succession Practices annually documents and analyzes succession events of chief executive officers that were announced at Russell 3000 and S&P 500 companies. In addition to updates on historical trends, each edition of this report features discussions of notable cases of CEO succession that took place in the calendar year prior to publication (based on press announcements and other publicly available information), and the results of a survey on the succession oversight practices of corporate boards.
