Implementing Your Succession Plan

The existence of a company succession plan doesnt ensure success. There are still potential challenges that need to be addressed. Once the plan is created, it must be reviewed and revised regularly. Encourage employees to express their interest in openings and to participate in succession-planning activities. Maintain systems for submitting potential leadership candidates, and explain the process so employees know their participation in this process does not guarantee advancement.

Review a candidates competency list regularly and determine methods for developing his skills. Maintain a variety of knowledge-transfer methods to address diverse needs in your organization, and monitor candidates development regularly to determine progress.

Many times the members of an organization perceive succession planning as creating a ceiling over them, not allowing them to move upward unless they are one of the chosen few. A focus on the plan at the individual level can help this understanding. Add a segment to performance appraisals where managers discuss career paths in the organization and discuss employee interests.
