Succession Management - the practice of carefully identifying critically important roles and developing the requirements and talent to fill organizational needs, is an increasingly critical business imperative. In fact, across broad segments of the U.S. economy, succession issues are receiving both enhanced visibility as well as scrutiny. While publically traded entities have had at least minimally a replacement plan for the CEO, not for profit, educational, and health care institutions have been less active with succession management - despite the fact that the needs are every bit as acute in those areas as well.
Because there is irrefutable evidence of the aging of the U.S. workforce, and the fact that executive ranks are riding the same demographic wave, now is the time for organizations to renew (or begin) their focus on the type, number and quality of leadership necessary to ensure ongoing success. This webinar will be a valuable aid to organizations that recognize having the right talent mix in critical roles will create a competitive advantage.

This interactive webinar offers a practical, strategic approach aimed at senior line management, Human Resources, and other executives interested in learning about how succession management can be an effective tool in ensuring business continuity. Additionally, it will present the case for why succession management is an effective tool in creating an environment in which all key constituents believe the organization is doing everything possible to set the stage for renewal and continued ability to outperform.
