Succession Planning in Organizations

Succession planning is a critical aspect of talent management; however, its confidential nature often makes it challenging to access and understand, especially for those earlier in their career. This session will offer a deep dive in the process of succession planning including how to build and implement a talent rhythm, engaging boards and executives in the succession process, and how to measure the effectiveness of succession strategies.
