"Grow your own executive talent"

Our Succession Planning programmes are designed to help you:

* Identify the "rising stars" in your organisation
* Plan for the expected and unexpected loss of key personnel
* Motivate and mentor executive talent
* Highlight skill gaps and design suitable development plans for executive and non executive directors

Recruitment of executive directors is often planned less than 6 months ahead.
Three quarters of organisations experience difficulty in recruiting executive directors.
Less than one third of organisations use succession planning to identify future directors.
Only half of organisations use formal training to identify development needs in executive an non executive directors.

This programme will bring out the best from your existing staff using a combination of competence and aptitude testing.
