Design a High-Value Succession Planning Program

Succession planning is complex. Take a systematic approach to address all the moving parts.

  • Only 45% of HR professionals report that their organization has a succession plan. Of those, only 21% report having a formal succession plan (SHRM, 2021).
  • Organizations focus on top management roles without evaluating which critical roles would add the most value to the organization.
  • Because the stakes are so high in succession planning, and because of its complexity, implementing it poorly can do more harm than good.

Executive Summary

Critical Insight

  • Succession planning is a high-stakes, complex, and resource-intensive initiative. Maximize the value of succession planning to your organization by designing a systematic approach.

Impact & Result

  • Design a program that is value-driven, integrated, evidence-based, and inclusive to maximize value.
  • Ensure leaders are accountable for conducting succession planning, with the support, process design, and facilitation of HR.
