Succession planning, more than just replacement planning, is identifying what roles are critical to business success and having a solid plan for when those roles need to actually be filled for the good of the company. Effective succession is not just ‘looking up the ladder’ but includes lateral moves, special project assignments, as well as external training and development opportunities. It involves strategic workforce planning, engaging your employees, building a culture of leadership and innovation, and most importantly, opening the airways for candid conversations about the future of the business. It is important to plan for the best, while still preparing for the worse.
