Succession planning is a strategic process that organizations use to prepare for future leadership needs in case of unexpected departures or retirements of key individuals. It involves identifying and developing internal employees to fill key roles, ensuring a smooth transition and continuity of leadership.
Succession planning may require the involvement of different professionals and stakeholders, all bringing their expertise together to develop a thorough and efficient plan. These may include the input of HR professionals, senior leadership, talent management teams, and sometimes external consultants.
Generally, the succession planning process can take between 12 to 36 months and several years. However, the duration can vary significantly based on several factors, including the complexity of the organization, the number of positions being planned for, and the readiness of potential successors. We suggest consulting with an experienced Bennett and Porter financial advisor to ensure a smoother journey.
