Session Descriptions
Succession Management: What is the role of professionals and managers?
Speaker(s):
Diane Hertel
Over half of the companies surveyed recently could not name a CEO successor should an immediate need arise. And succession plans dwindle as you move down into employee ranks. Company boards and senior executives are increasingly concerned about succession management as the key to sustaining the organization’s strategic viability.
How confident are you that your organization’s succession plan is headed in the right direction? What is your role in ensuring a sound plan that ensures the availability of the right skills and talent to fill critical roles now and into the future? What is your part in attracting and retaining high potentials?
In this interactive session you will learn:
- What we mean by effective succession management and why it is foundational to business strategy execution and organizational effectiveness
- How non-HR leaders play a vital role in the process
- What specifically you can do to ensure a sound succession plan for leadership talent:
- What does career development look like on a daily basis?
- How can you delegate for development?
- What are the 3 E’s and how should you blend them?
- How can you collaborate with other functions and HR in this process?
