COURSE DESCRIPTION:
| It’s your worst nightmare
come true: A key employee
suddenly quits, becomes
disabled, or dies and you
realize he or she is the ONLY
person who knew how to perform a
mission-critical function in
your company. It could be a
senior executive, or even a
rank-and-file worker. At worst,
you instantly start missing
deadlines, losing customers and
bleeding cash. At the very
least, your organization is
thrown into chaos as other
employees play catch up,
learning unfamiliar processes
and functions, cramming weeks of
training and learning into days.
Smart companies never let this
happen. They do what’s called
“succession planning.” Or,
better still, they create a
“succession culture,” where the
emphasis is on developing talent
for internal career growth at
every level. You’d think this
would be a bread-and-butter risk
management practice at every
company. But it’s not.
Succession planning remains
widely underutilized and
misunderstood.
Join us to increase your
practical understanding of how
to help your organization create
or improve existing succession
planning practices and to
develop a succession culture
that fosters employee
development at all levels.
Participants will learn:
- The key principles of
succession planning and how
to create a “succession
culture” that vastly
minimizes your company's
risk
- The correlation between
long-term organizational
profitability and bench
strength -- both at the
leadership and rank-and-file
levels
- How two real
organizations met the
challenges of implementing a
succession management
program
- How to quantify risk and
communicate the business
case for succession planning
to your management team
- How to train your
supervisors and other
company leaders to implement
succession planning tactics
and strategies
- A method for defining
the scope of succession
planning appropriate to
current organizational needs
