QUESTION 9 OF 27

What do you feel is the key to developing and/or operating a great succession planning program?

The total succession planning process encompasses many different steps from planning to final implementation. Even then, once implemented, there are many keys to ensuring the program is successful into the future. However you answer this question, be sure to speak passionately and knowledgeably as to why you feel your key is one essential key to the process. Discuss how this will be an advantage for the clients that you would work with and how you would help implement the step for them.

"While I consider myself an expert on the planning stages and identifying the positions that should have succession plans, I think the toughest and most crucial step for an organization in a succession planning process is identifying top talent to groom into new roles along their career journey. Understanding that my role as the consultant for your clients would be over, it would be my job to educated the clients on how to identify, train and measure successes down the road to make the program a true success."
