Rethinking Succession Planning as a Strategic Advantage

​This luncheon is designed as a best practice and peer exchange opportunity, bringing together senior HR leaders to share what’s working, what’s not, and what needs to change if succession planning is to truly serve the future of the business.
Questions we’ll explore together:
• How confident are you that your succession pipeline reflects the leaders your future strategy actually requires?
• How transparent—and trusted—is your succession process across leaders, candidates, and the board?
• What’s the cost of getting succession almost right?

Drawing on BTS’s comprehensive approach to succession, the discussion will explore how organizations are:
• Anchoring succession planning in future strategy and culture
• Defining future-ready success profiles that clarify what “ready” really means
• Using robust, multi-method assessment data to reduce risk and increase confidence
• Developing successors intentionally—before the moment of selection
• Creating processes that leaders, candidates, and boards understand and trust

A practical takeaway:
During the session, you’ll receive a succession planning self-assessment designed to help you quickly gauge:
• Where your current approach is strong and aligned
• Where there may be gaps or blind spots
• Where targeted shifts could significantly increase the impact and credibility of your succession process

We hope you’ll join us for a thoughtful, forward-looking conversation with peers who are navigating the same pressures and expectations.
