Hello Friends:
Of all
the issues facing senior management teams, succession planning is one
of the most challenging. It requires the ability to critically and
accurately assess not only an organization's current talent but to also
be able to predict the needs of the future.
If your organization is already involved in succession planning,
there are some points raised in these articles that can act as a
checkpoint as to whether your system is focusing on the right
issues. If your organization is in the early thinking stages
related to succession planning, then the articles will provide you
some ideas on how to frame this conversation with your senior
management team.
Sincerely,
Tim Schoonover
President & CEO
Promark Company/OI Partners, Inc.
