Succession Planning

Succession planning is about having a long-term view and plan to meet staffing and leadership needs into the future. A clear succession plan aligns with strategic and operational plans, is flexible and adaptive to meet changing environmental and business needs and contributes to creating a culture of ongoing learning and development that may enhance retention of staff.

This workshop explores the key concepts of succession planning and some useful approaches to identify, develop and retain the right people.

In this session we will explore:

• Succession planning – what it is and why is it important
• Key steps for successful succession planning
• Identifying talent including building awareness of and managing unconscious bias in decision making
• Strategies and tools to develop people so they have the skills, knowledge and confidence to move into higher level roles in the future
