Succession Client Story

Succession Planning

Succession Planning is a two-way Evaluation of Career & Leadership Match
For many organizations, it is important to be proactive in succession planning so when one employee retires or leaves a role, there is someone else prepared to fill the position. Succession planning involves understanding what makes for a successful leader in your organization.  Do your organizational values, mission and vision match with your “high potentials” you want to fast-track?   Are they engaged and committed to the same goals your organization is? While individual training and development are part of filling the Org-Chart Succession Plan, that’s the overstory to the rich story beneath the surface.  When employees are engaged, have bought-into their role and work, an employer has a precious resource.  PREP can help identify how well your people resources are feeling about their situations – is their resilience optimal to engage and be part of your Succession Plan? PREP can help guide you to the conversations and insights you need to strengthen your people-resources.  Then, which role maps are optimal for which people, teams, groups inside your organization?   This type of preparation may take years to accomplish, but it begins with identifying and nurturing the right candidates within the organization.
The PREP Profile can help with Succession Planning by:
  • Preparing succession candidates for the next role by offering guidance on development areas and how to strengthen their personal resilience for the road ahead
  • Helping leaders and employees identify themselves and others in the treasure-hunt for high potential future leadership.
The PREP group reports can help an organization communicate through strengths and show how teams, timing, training and experience shape leaders and their teams.
