About the Event
Due to popular demand, we are adding a LIVE updated Version Of The Succession Managment Certification Program in Zurich!
Unplanned vacancies in critical roles pose a significant threat to organizations. Without a clear succession plan, it’s impossible to be prepared for what lies ahead. To future-proof themselves, organizations need to cultivate a pipeline of talent ready to take on critical, strategic roles when the time comes. They need a robust succession management plan.
Succession management is more than just filling gaps—it's about preparing people to be in the right places and giving them the skills to succeed. By aligning each step of your succession management process to your organization’s strategy, you can identify, assess, and develop the talent needed for future success and foster a culture where everyone can become the best version of themselves.
This comprehensive two-day program takes the complicated process of succession management and distills it down to the key steps. You’ll work through a single case study with our five-step model, practicing each step along the way as you develop a holistic succession plan designed to ensure ongoing talent readiness and cultivate a talent pipeline for the future. You’ll be equipped with the skills and knowledge to strategically align your succession management process with your organization’s long-term goals and leave with best practices, tools, and an action plan to implement right away.

- Align Strategically :Understand the importance of linking succession management to your organization’s strategic goals while engaging collaboratively with leadership and key stakeholders
