Club Mastering Change: The Hidden Cost of Retirement Mismanagement

Retirement is far more than the end of a career, it is a defining moment of personal legacy and organisational culture. How an organisation manages a leader’s transition speaks volumes about its values.

Too often, departures are mishandled: avoided, rushed, or stripped of celebration. The cost? Erosion of trust, morale, and cultural continuity. But when transitions are honoured thoughtfully, they strengthen institutional memory, preserve relationships, and unlock long-term value.

INSEAD Adjunct Professor, and KDVI Associate, and Arendt and Medernach Investment Management Partner, will share their work on retirement management, exploring why organisations must see it not as a bureaucratic formality, but as a strategic opportunity.

The event will be co-hosted with the Kets de Vries Institute.

✨ Join us for an evening of ideas, connections, and inspiration.
