Talent and Succession Planning Management Process Course

Succession planning is a talent management process that builds a pool of trained workers who are ready to fill key roles when leaders and other key employees step down. Organizations with succession planning programs in place foster a talent-oriented culture by recruiting skilled workers and top talent. Once recruited, businesses focus on developing these workers’ skills, expertise, and knowledge so they are prepared to take on leadership roles in the event of organizational growth, talent loss or management turnover.

In this course, we will learn how to create value from an intangible asset that is measured as the cost of a head account on an organization’s balance sheet.  We begin with a brief overview that talent management is more than a process of identifying the high potential of leadership development programs.

This leads to a conversation about how a large percentage of employees have unrecognized and underutilized talents.  Next, we explore how to put in place mechanisms to help employees explore, discover, and unlock their potential for the benefit of the organization.  This course challenges the narrow focus of traditional talent management processes and provides practical steps that line managers and human resource managers can take to maximize the use of human potential within their organization.
