The Insider Secrets Of Strategic Succession Planning

Course overview

Strategic Succession Planning: What Is It? A technique called “strategic succession planning” is used to identify and nurture internal staff members who have the potential to take on important business leadership roles in the organisation.

According to a more formal definition, succession planning is the process of selecting one or more candidates to take over crucial roles and preparing them for increased organisational responsibilities through work assignments and other developmental activities.

Why Should We Plan Our Strategic Succession? The availability of skilled workers who are ready to take on strategic and leadership responsibilities when they become available is increased via succession planning.

Every world-class organization’s success may be linked to a visible or unseen leader who possesses world-class leadership abilities. But we can’t rely just on one person to lead.

The company need to have a pool of leaders who are prepared to step up into bigger roles when they become available. Succession Planning is the cornerstone for overcoming last-minute hiring shocks.

In a fiercely competitive global economic climate, an organization’s ability to survive rests in part on its ability to identify and nurture replacements or successors for key roles. The core of succession planning is this.
