What is succession planning?

Succession planning is a strategy organisations use to identify and groom potential replacements for current leaders or business-critical knowledge workers when they leave or retire. Succession planning programs are designed to prevent the loss of knowledge, productivity, and morale that often accompany changes in company leadership. By implementing an effective succession planning strategy, companies can ensure a smooth transition that avoids disrupting business operations.

Know what makes a great leader in your organisation

The process of identifying future leaders starts by accurately defining the specific capabilities that drive leadership success in the unique context of your organisation. AbilityMap’s 31-point capability framework includes leadership capabilities that enable you to prescribe what ‘best’ leaders look like in your team.

AbilityMap's software tailors an effective succession planning process that aligns with your business strategy.

Supercharge your succession planning strategy

Identify high-potential leadership talent or identify your future business-critical knowledge worker by inviting your people to complete an AbilityMap assessment. The report will help you identify and engage talent who have scored highly across leadership capabilities such as leading others, motivating others, influencing and persuading or other capabilities critical to your organisation.

Create an evidence-based succession planning model

Succession planning becomes a breeze with AbilityMap. Team member evaluation results serve as the basis for high-potential future leader conversations about opportunities for promotion within the organisation and evidence-based talent development and training plans to get there.
