Succession Planning Process

Building an effective succession planning process is more than just filling in boxes on an organizational chart of who is going to replace whom. It is more about creating the continuous pipeline of people who may one day run the organization. It focuses on:

• The current and future core competencies of the organization’s leaders
• The current level of talent in the organization
• How best to achieve creating the leadership bench strength.

Our focus here is helping you develop and implement plans to create the next generation of leaders.
