LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT AND SUCCESSION STRATEGIST

Leadership Development and Succession Strategist training course will focus on the need for an integrated approach to leadership development and succession management, one that aligns these efforts with overall business strategies and drives leadership readiness in high potentials across the organization and the best practice approaches to succession planning and leadership.

This training course addresses best practice approaches to succession planning and the challenges organisations face: from identifying future potential, to planning processes, talent pools and relationships between HR and senior management.
Succession Planning is the process through which organisations identify and develop potential future leaders, senior managers or business critical positions. Approaches differ: some companies seek to identify potential by assessing young graduates to identify future leadership potential. Others recognise that people grow and develop according to their abilities and the opportunities which arise.
The world is changing faster than ever, and so are organizations. As a result companies need leaders now and in the future who can manage change while executing complex business strategies. To ensure that you have the right leaders in the right places at the right time with the right skill, there needs to be a focus on leadership development. It is absolutely vital, therefore, that organisations need to build a succession planning program that creates leaders faster than the traditional training and development programs and will be able to identify the key business positions within the organization and to develop potential future leaders to occupy them and, consequently, maintain the continuity of business success.
