Succession planning identifies leadership or mission-critical roles that determine the knowledge, skills, abilities, and competencies required in correlation to the strategic goals of the organization. This process ensures organizational talent needs are identified and aligned with strategy and objectives, key positions are identified, and a pipeline of new leaders is developed by taking into account data and trends that affect turnover and retention and providing a development program for identified talent with the desire and aptitude for the next role.
