Succession Planning Assessment


Assessing Your Key Talent

Preparing and promoting your best-qualified people requires a level of objectivity not often available inside the organization. Promoting people to their level of incompetence is common. Often, the best operator becomes the supervisor, the best nurse becomes the department director, regardless of leadership talent. Retaining key talent is critical. Identifying and developing High Potential employees gives strength to the organization.

Succession planning plays a key role in the development and retention of key talent. But Succession Planning is more than a "names-in-boxes" exercise, where organization charts are filled in with apparent heirs. It's also not about software tracking systems. That's the easy part. Without fully assessing all components of the job, both operational and behavioral, most organizations have an incomplete picture of the potential of their successors.
