Reorgs, M&A, and retirements: when key-person risk stops being theoretical
Three predictable moments turn hidden continuity risk into immediate exposure. Each one is also a chance to get ahead of it.
A reorganization, a deal in diligence, or a key retirement can each make latent key-person risk suddenly real. How to see the exposure in advance, with a plan attached, before the event forces the issue.

If your CFO resigned this afternoon, could you say in numbers how exposed you are?
