How should a new CEO manage the digital transition from their predecessor?

The first ninety days of a new CEO tenure compress more search and AI activity than any subsequent period. The preparation work, ideally completed before the announcement and certainly within the first two weeks, runs in five tracks. The Knowledge Panel is reviewed and any incorrect attributes are corrected through verified-source paths. The corporate leadership page is rebuilt with Person schema and a complete current bio, and a personal site is launched or refreshed if one is part of the program. A thought-leadership cadence for the first quarter is scheduled – two or three substantive published pieces in credentialed outlets, two or three speaking appearances, a podcast or two. And AIQ™ monitoring runs daily with the CEO’s name as a topic and named peers configured for comparison. The work matures over months, but the structure has to be in place during the high-intensity window.
