Succession Planning vs. Replacement Planning


Succession planning is different from replacement planning because it focuses on forecasting organizational needs. It is not based upon reactions to an unforeseen event. It is based upon proactively securing the human resources needed to ensure the continuity and prosperity of the organization. Talent is observed and cultivated from within the organization.

Ability
(or Learning Agility)

This includes the capacity to: Process complex ideas Think logically Perceive and understand others emotions Learn new skills (e.g., an employees technical, functional, or interpersonal skills)

Performance

Current performance and future potential are only somewhat related.

Long-term performance must be considered in evaluating candidates for succession planning.

Engagement
