FAQ

What is succession planning, and why is it important?
Succession planning is a strategic, proactive approach to ensuring your organization has a continuous pipeline of talent ready to step into key positions, critical roles, and leadership roles. By identifying and preparing potential successors and internal candidates, organizations safeguard institutional knowledge, reduce turnover costs, and maintain progress toward strategic goals.
An effective succession plan supports long-term success, enables smooth transitions, and aligns with organizational structure and business goals, especially during a transition of leadership.
Who should be included in a succession plan?

A strong succession plan includes high-potential employees, qualified individuals, and internal talent from the current talent pool. These individuals are assessed for leadership potential, core competencies, soft skills, and technical skills needed to step into senior roles, advanced roles, or future leadership roles.

Organizations should build a talent pool of individual employees who demonstrate promise for career growth, possess key skill sets, and are aligned with development opportunities and career paths.
