Session #807: Succession Planning for the 21st Century: Future Trends & Practical Guidelines for Building the Talent Pipeline

2014 Annual Conference

Workplace Application: This highly interactive workshop will show you how to apply new concepts and tools to your unique business and cultural environment and provide practical insights to guide successful and results-oriented succession planning practices.

Most succession plans are irrelevant to today’s business challenges. Demographic shifts, globalization, emerging communication technologies and economic uncertainty have changed the playing field and what’s required of leaders. Those organizations, large and small, that have not engaged in succession planning are at great economic risk. There has been much talk of the new normal in American business but little practical discussion on how to retool succession planning and leadership development to meet new and future challenges facing companies. You will learn:

  • The key pitfalls to today’s succession planning initiatives;
  • The impact of future trends on succession planning practices;
  • A framework for assessing what tomorrow’s business and roles should look like;
  • The leadership competencies necessary to compete in the next decade; and,
  • The key steps to retool succession planning and leadership development for simplicity and success.
