"Linking Succession Management to Business Strategy:  How Three Organizations Engage the C-Suite in Talent Growth"

Session Description:

Your business needs it. Senior leaders need it, and increasingly Boards demand it.  Great succession management strategies drive the growth of leadership capability. Done well, strategic succession planning ensures stability as well as promotes a common understanding of how talent should be cultivated and deployed for the long-term health of the enterprise.  But doing it well requires a strong link between the succession management plan, and priorities faced by the business it serves.  Driving execution in an existing business, for example, requires an entirely different skill set than penetrating new markets to establish wholly new businesses.  And to survive long term, strategies must be driven from top executives.  In this session, three senior executives charged with enterprise-level succession and talent management reveal their best practices and insights that drive talent growth in their organizations.
