Talent & development

Succession management

Reduce uncertainty around business-critical roles by identifying potential successors and the development they need. Distinguish high potential from strong professional performance before discussing readiness.

Discuss your succession priorities

Who this is for

  • HR and leadership teams planning succession for critical roles
  • Organizations building talent pools and development priorities

When to start

  • Key-person risk is concentrated in a few positions
  • Talent reviews identify names but no evidence-based readiness plan

What you receive

  • Criteria for critical roles and HiPo/HiPro identification
  • A successor coverage and readiness matrix
  • Individual development priorities and a review process

How we work

  1. Define critical coverage

    Agree role priorities, criteria and confidentiality boundaries.

  2. Review talent evidence

    Assess readiness and calibrate judgments with the leadership team.

  3. Plan development

    Assign development actions, owners and a cadence for refreshing coverage.
