Our guest, Ibiai Ani, (nee Ajumogobia) is an exceptional HR professional, and her equally distinguished family inherited a school - with a unique challenge: none of them has had a background in education or teaching. Despite this, they have managed to maintain their legacy and ensure the school's sustainability, more than 40 years on.

In this episode, Ibiai schools us on succession planning, particular problems with legacy institutions, and shares with us what she knows now that she wishes she had known then.

Listen and take notes. Then thank us later.
