Topic: Strategic Succession Planning: Building Your Bench Strength
Planning for both the foreseen and unexpected absences of people who hold key roles in an organization is a task which employers often avoid or engage in only in an informal manner. Worse yet, we sometimes limit the planning to the "C-Suite". Without concentrated effort on succession planning, a business that has been successful can quickly fail if one or more of its key employees are lost. Succession planning has to be a priority for every business and should be part of its strategic business plan. During this interactive seminar, attendees will gain a broad knowledge of how to develop a succession plan for all levels of key employees. Topics that will specifically be covered are:
- The Business Case for Succession Planning
- The 7 Deadly Signs (of a faltering SP system)
- Succession Planning meets Leadership Development
- Top 10 Ways to Strategically Build Your Bench Strength
- Implementation Strategies for a Tough Economy
We will identify current business trends that impact Succession Planning and learn how to recognize them in your organization. We'll also conduct a mock succession plan activity that will require participants to rate an employee's readiness to assume additional responsibility.
Attendees will:
- create an effective Succession Plan management process
- develop best practices around on-the-job development
- merge succession planning and leadership development
- balance company interests with employee work-life balance
