What is Succession Planning?
“Succession planning is the process
of planning appropriate action in the
case that a person acknowledged
as a key person or who currently
occupies a key position in an
organisation is no longer available
to the organisation.”

Looking ahead…
“Succession planning is a …
governance responsibility and
management function … (that)
demonstrates real concern for the
future of the organisation.”

Knowing what you do…
“In essence, a succession plan outlines
the roles played by each member of the
organisation and identifies how their
knowledge and skills can be captured and
transferred to others.”
