Succession Planning
Build Effective Talent Pipelines
Unprepared Leadership Talent
Changing demographics and the pace of change are increasing pressure to create comprehensive leadership succession strategies. Typical succession planning approaches assume predictability and stability, leaving leaders unprepared and resulting in half of all leaders failing to meet objectives in new roles.
Only 28% of leadership roles are currently filled by successors.
