Succession Planning

Succession planning is the process of identifying high-potential employees, evaluating and honing their skills and abilities, and preparing them for advancement into positions which are key to the success of the organisation. Succession planning involves understanding the organisation's long-term goals and objectives, identifying high-potential candidates and supporting their respective developmental needs. To be strategic, succession planning must also determine workforce trends and predictions. This module outlines a comprehensive, step-by-step approach to designing, implementing, administering, and maintaining an effective Succession Planning programme. This module uses a real-world case study capstone lesson to reinforce the learning objectives.
