1. “Only one in five CEOs are confident with their current talent management approaches are sufficient
to produce successors for ongoing success”
“Based on a survey conducted by Harvard Business Review, 40 percent of new CEOs fail to meet their
goals within their first 18 months”
“Global trends show that only about 30% of family-owned businesses successfully transfer from the first to the second
generation. Subsequently, the transition to the third generation experiences a sharp decline to about 10%”
Statistics have shown that both the public and private sectors see the importance of implementing comprehensive succession plans. In fact, according
to PwC’s Annual Corporate Directors Survey from 2012, 68 percent of respondents mentioned they would like their board to devote more time to
succession planning in the following years.
Yet, despite such statistics, it is surprising to find that still today there is little if not any focus on succession planning across many organisations. If this
includes you - we encourage you to ask yourself why?
Succession planning plays an important role in any organisation whereby it ensures the right talent is identified and developed into future leaders; and
to therefore take the lead in achieving ongoing organisational objectives. Furthermore, preparing HiPos (High Potential) for future roles is a strategic
way to keep employee morale high – not to mention it is also a great way to ensure low attrition rates.
Do you want to learn more about:
• What the symbiotic relationship is between succession planning and organisational planning?
• How and when you should forecast the need for successors?
• How to ensure successors are being prepared to take on their future roles?
• What are the measurable indicators that should be monitored to ensure a succession planning framework is meeting the
organisations needs and goals?
