Succession planning software: providing a strategic line of sight
Talent Successor is online succession planning software like nothing else. It embeds succession planning throughout your organisation, ensuring talent continuity.
Succession planning has moved on from the days of spreadsheets, talent reviews behind closed doors and only the top talent being considered. Succession planning now touches all those across the organisation.
Talent Successor supports you to do this.
What is succession planning?
Succession planning is the process through which organisations identify and develop potential future leaders, senior managers or business-critical positions.
It identifies critical roles, areas of succession risk and important talent gaps. It mitigates business risk and helps retain talent.
Succession plans pulled together from various sources are cumbersome to create, quickly become out of date and, often based on manual input, subject to human error.
Succession planning software changes all that.
