    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
