Session Overview:

As companies reimagine what the future of work requires, meaningful succession planning is a competitive differentiator. In contrast to what succession planning used to look like, today’s best practice organizations go far beyond the simple “replacement inventory charts.” To truly add value, succession planning has to focus on what it will take to be successful tomorrow, not just today. And we know tomorrow’s success criteria may be quite different from what has typically been required. This means being clear about specifically what needs to happen to ensure that successors are actually ready to step up when the time comes. No matter where your organization is starting from, this session can help you move your succession planning practices to the next level--even if you have nothing in place today.

You'll Learn How To:

• Position succession planning for competitive advantage

• Identify differentiators between “value-added” and “not so much value-added" succession planning



• Evaluate “best fit” practical tools for your organization
