Summary

Given the varied and complex challenges that confront businesses in today’s economy, succession planning should be rising up the corporate agenda. Effective succession planning to secure business continuity and growth, and deliver tailored, pro-active career development for an organisation’s most talented individuals should be at the core of thought for business leaders.

Eventually, today’s leaders will move on. Who are the candidates from your talent pool that could become the next group leaders across the organisation? Are you tracking anyone that shows promise and wants to move up? Is there a formal plan in place to prepare candidates for more responsibilities?
