The term “succession management” has been used to describe a wide variety of activities that involve planning for key transitions in leadership within organizations. Researchers and practitioners alike are continually looking for ways to start or improve such programs and to determine what to focus on in these types of programs and how to do it right. This research has shown that organizations with better operational results are more likely to have succession planning programs yet only 40-65% (depending on different research conclusions) of organizations have formal succession planning processes in place.
Many organizations are faced with the need to coordinate the start-up or improvement of a comprehensive succession management system and integrate it into a comprehensive talent management effort. However, they often wonder where to start and what to do. This succession management training will provide a comprehensive approach to guide the succession management effort.
