You can't fight or ignore demographic realities: if it hasn't already started, your organization will soon face the challenge of large numbers of exiting knowledge workers. Many leaders in key positions - especially the baby-boom generation born between 1946 and 1964 - are retiring. With the economy slow to rebound in many industries, other leaders are switching industries and leaving critical vacancies.

But the expense and risk associated with bringing in candidates from the outside is high. Compounding this problem, the supply of job-ready replacement candidates is often limited.

Those involved in designing, setting up or controlling career development systems; also, line managers who are involved in, or accountable for, the career development of their staff.
