HCI believes that succession planning is an objective, intentional, and systematic effort to ensure leadership continuity by identifying and developing current and future leaders who will lead and execute the organization’s strategic priorities. In other words, it helps current leaders and HR stakeholders answer these two critical questions: Who should lead? And when?

HCI also believes that building a strong leadership pipeline requires that talent is nurtured and developed at all levels and in alignment with an organization’s business strategy. This is the best way to ensure individual readiness and support future growth.

HCI’s NEW Succession Planning & Talent Development certification program is designed to help you align your organization’s succession planning and talent development efforts with your business strategy using a practical but compelling framework to guide your team’s efforts.

Who Should Attend?

This course is designed for HR practitioners who want to take a more disciplined and evidence-based approach to their organization’s succession planning and talent development efforts. Sample titles include:

HR Manager, Sr. Manager HR Director, Sr. Director VP HR

HR Business Partner

Professionals in Talent Management Organizational Development Professional

What You’ll Learn

This two-day course is built around HCI’s research-based Succession Planning framework. This framework is designed to execute a succession planning process that emphasizes evidence over opinion.

Purpose Define succession planning objectives that solve for current challenges and align with organizational

strategies

Level Understand the needs of your talent segments and target organizational levels

intentionally

Assess Identify leaders objectively with data

and analytics and evaluate performance of succession planning

objectives

Nurture

Develop continuously to ensure retention and

readiness for current and future roles

Purpose

If succession planning is to be effective throughout the organization, it must present solutions to talent problems that align with the organizational strategy. Organizations must be clear on what they want to achieve by investing in succession planning and how success will be measured.

Level

Beyond the C-Suite, effective succession planning strategies take into consideration an organization’s strategic workforce plan and segment based on level and/or position. They begin building leadership pipelines at lower levels of the organization.

Assess

If the top challenge to succession planning is a reliance on gut-feel decisions, the importance of assessment cannot be overstated. In addition to evaluating skills and abilities, assessment can help organizations determine whether to build or buy critical talent.

Nurture

Leadership looks different at different levels.

Competency models and capability frameworks can help nurture leadership behaviors and set expectations for an individual’s growth and development over time.
