“Attracting and developing the next generation of leaders and executives” was recently singled out as the second most important issue facing HR executives.

This handbook provides a project-oriented approach to improve existing succession planning processes or strengthen existing leadership succession initiatives.

Structured into 5 phases, the guide includes detailed steps on how to complete each phase. It also includes a series of implementation guides to ensure successful execution.

Benchmarking cases and data, along with useful diagnostic “insight” tools, are provided. As an option, a CD-ROM provides directive assistance to help you with the change management process critical to the second phase.
