“She’s leaving!?! What do we do now?”  When leaders and key employees depart, many organizations are left wondering who can possibly replace their knowledge and skills.  This can leave companies at risk and with a diminished ability to compete in the future. Formalizing a succession plan can avoid these issues and prepare your “bench” with the talent to meet your future needs. This course presents the importance of developing a succession plan, best practice tools and methods of identifying key positions and implementing succession plans. Case study examples are presented and discussed.
