Organizational Tools: Succession Planning
Building A Pipeline Of Leaders
Leadership transitions can be pivotal performance points for organizations. Succession planning — identifying the best internal talent to lead the organization in the future — can ensure leadership continuity and enhance performance potential. When the right candidates are identified, not only can the organization provide them with the experiences necessary to prepare them for broader roles, but it can also ensure the retention of these key employees.
Planning For Success
BHI combines organizational insights with assessment science to create effective succession plans. Although each organizational situation is unique, the succession planning process includes:
•
Identifying and validating the leadership competencies critical for the next generation of leaders
•
Assessing high potential employees to determine where they can make the greatest contributions
•
Training leaders on how to integrate performance information with assessment of potential
•
Facilitating cross-functional discussions regarding those recommended for inclusion in the succession plan
•
Identifying systemic leadership gaps that would be best addressed by acquiring external talent
•
Helping build career pathing plans for key emerging leaders
•
Organizing the data into an accessible, usable format
