Welcome to Succession Planning

What is Succession Planning?

Succession planning is a structured approach to identifying existing talent within a business, and aligning it to specific business objectives. Often succession planning focuses on high level roles but it can equally apply to any position.

It identifies one or more people where specific developmental activities are undertaken to enable previously identified key career moves to occur. The programme can include developmental sideways moves in order to provide appropriate experience to progress upwards within the organisation.

Development activities are not necessarily structured around specialist roles but are often based around generic skill sets that are required across different job functions and roles.

In essence it’s giving high potential employees the skills, not only to do their own roles but a range of roles in the future.

Why use Succession Planning?

In today’s market place, competition for key personnel is on the increase, as skill shortages start to bite. Organisations are increasingly looking inwardly to identify those personnel who have the potential to be either short or long term successors for key roles.

Succession planning helps to identify potential managers or leaders to fill key positions within an organisation in the future, by aligning talent in a planned way.
