EXTERNAL SUCCESSION PLANNING

I help clients build their external succession plans. This approach is customized to the client's requirements and is done in conjunction with the internal succession planning efforts. Having a comprehensive succession strategy attracts top leadership talent and gives organizations a sustained competitive advantage. 

We Start With Asking The Hard Questions.

We Align With Internal HR Processes.

We Provide Deep Market Research.

We Build a Sustainable Strategy.

We Engage With Talent.

An organization's success can only be accomplished by having the right leaders in the right roles at the right time. This is established by understanding the current state of the business, learning the capability gaps and challenges, and orienting the strategic hiring plans toward the future. In essence, we need to know where you are, where you want to go, and finally what talent will you need in the future?

It is crucial that the succession planning process is embedded into the culture and fabric of the organization so we make sure we align with the internal people-related processes. We consider and support the existing processes that focus on performance management, career planning, recognition, and rewards.

Talent research is the key to a strong external succession strategy. Our market research reports are a targeted and customized approach to each engagement. We provide insights that are relevant to your business and can include competitor comparisons, organizational design, functional alignment, job titling, target experiences, and the identification of key Leaders. This research guides the succession strategy.

Succession planning is a long-term process that requires building and maintaining relationships with key talent. I work with internal HR and Business Leaders to build a sustainable strategy that includes how to engage with talent as well as how to maintain and nurture the relationship, 

Making the connection between the organization and external talent for the purpose of succession planning can be a bit tricky at times. We engage with the talent in a thoughtful and meaningful way and ensure that the connections are strong from the very start.
