"What's your next move?"

When experiencing growth, a merger, an acquisition, succession is inevitable. There will be times when the organization will need to implement a process or plan to grow the team within the organization. A comprehensive succession plan is the necessary tool to keep the process as smooth and seamless as possible.

Succession Plans are not only for times of change, creating and mapping career paths is a necessary tool when addressing promotions, staffing alignment, reorganization or just to communicate to the team what the potential is within the organization. Career ladders are the most effective tool for this purpose. See our samples in Career Ladders.

Another tool for mapping succession is a Mobility or Career Path. This tool is used for lateral movement within the organization. See our sample of a Career Path matrix.
