Change Ready
Change Ready is a CivSource program on Leadership Transition and Succession.
CivSource Africa recognizes that transitions are key moments and turning points in all institutions. CivSource supports organizations to proactively plan, manage and absorb the shocks that arise from both expected and unexpected transitions.
Succession planning lets nonprofits respond to strategic changes that create new leadership needs or roles and be prepared for transitions when necessary. This embeds leadership development as a core organizational system, rather than as an ad hoc process, so that organizations are ready for inevitable change.
Welcome to the groundbreaking Footprints Podcast, a vibrant series honouring the remarkable legacies of influential elders. Anchored in the study conducted by CivSource Africa on Executive Transitions and Succession planning, our commitment in response to the study recommendations is to document and tell stories of change, transition, and succession among leaders within the sector and beyond. The process seeks to glean lessons from those who have led and served before us.
Hosted by the esteemed CEO of CivSource Africa, Jacqueline Asiimwe, this platform brings to life the diverse stories of revered personalities like Mama Rhoda Kalema, Dr. Miria Matembe, James Tumusiime, Alex Mukulu, and more. With meticulous attention to storytelling and inspiration, each episode intricately weaves interviews, recollections, and expert commentary, delving deep into the essence of these unique lives. Beyond recounting histories, the podcast illuminates the challenges, triumphs, and wisdom of its subjects. Complementing the auditory journey, an E-book will immortalize these stories in written form. Distributed across major platforms like Spotify, Bullhorn, Anchor, and CivSource Africa's YouTube channel, the series aims to inspire, educate, and connect audiences worldwide.
Join us on this journey of celebration, tribute, and collective action as we honour those who've paved the way and reflect on the legacies we aspire to leave behind.
