Succession Planning Simplified: Fast-track Your Future Leaders to Quickly Fill Critical Roles With Confidence!

Succession planning is not just naming the new CEO. In fact, it's not about putting a name behind a title at all. That is called replacement planning.  And when it is only used during times of crisis - when a company must name somebody to fill a vacant role quickly - that’s not succession planning either. That is crisis management! 

Therefore, best-practice organizations utilize succession planning to not only prepare for potential leadership challenges, but also to rely on such plans to develop and maintain the strong leadership that is required to grow and keep pace with changes in their business, industry, and overall marketplace. Succession planning will continue to become more integrated into the everyday life of organizations, moving from a formal ‘annual event’ to becoming a part of the daily fabric of doing business.
