What you’ll learn in this programme
The Strategic Succession Planning programme is delivered as a 1–2 day course, either in person or virtually, depending on your organisation’s needs.
This course supports managers and HR professionals in building a clear approach to developing future leaders. Participants explore why succession planning is often overlooked and how a lack of planning can create risk, disruption, and loss of capability.
The programme focuses on practical succession planning rather than theory. Participants learn how to identify potential successors, assess development needs, and create realistic development plans that support both individuals and the organisation.
Learning is based on real organisational scenarios, helping participants consider how succession planning fits their structure, size, and culture. Emphasis is placed on developing people over time rather than relying on last minute solutions.
The content is tailored to your organisation’s context, ensuring the learning is relevant and achievable.
