Succession Planning

Succession planning is essentially the process of ensuring that a business has access to the leadership talent that it requires to run efficiently. This consists of identifying the required human succession capital through talent intelligence such as Talent Mapping and Talent Pipelining. Epsilonn has a great deal of experience in both these areas and can help organisations to effectively surmount this dilemma with our research-driven leadership talent techniques.

The main quandary that our clients face is identifying the right leadership talent they will require should members of their leadership team leave the business.

Without the right Succession planning and leadership talent research in place, this could cause serious disruption. This minimises the risk should a team leadership member depart.

Epsilonn’s talent intelligence can assist your Succession Planning requirements and respond to a variety of questions you might face, such as:
  • How can we find and attract this top talent?
  • What leadership skills does our business require now and in the future?
  • Where is this talent situated? Will it be internal or external?
  • How are other companies doing their Succession Planning? Is there anything to be learned from this?
This talent intelligence will then lead the way to the next stage in the process, which is finding the actual leadership talent that will available to join your business when required.

Succession Planning methodology

Epsilonn partners closely with our clients’ leadership teams and through our talent intelligence we are able to deliver tailored and strategic succession plans that are adaptable and cost-beneficial. A good proportion of our clients want a more cost-effective method of viewing the leadership talent out there in the marketplace and don’t necessarily want to conduct a full, expensive research project. This is where talent mapping and pipelining are beneficial as they allow for a high-level view of the leadership talent out there, but in more of a cost efficient manner.
