Strategic Succession Planning

Succession planning is not just about replacing the boss when he retires,…or the "Big Red Bus" syndrome.

Succession planning is about anticipating the needs of the business in terms of Skills, Leadership and Resources at all levels of the organisation to ensure a smooth transition between successive phases of its evolution.

Ensuring the capability is in place at the time it is required involves knowing what that capability is likely to be and developing "strength in depth" in a pool of talent available to provide it.

Succession planning is about encouraging talented members of the team to stay committed so that they can
  • Continue to contribute
    • See a career path
      • Stay Motivated
        • Enjoy the stimulation of Learning
          • Accept and adapt to Change
            • Lead Others to do the same
              • Provide the future leadership of the Business
