Most succession plans answer a single question: Who’s next? But naming the next person isn’t the same as preparing them to lead, and only 8% of HR leaders feel confident in their succession bench. Pressure is building as CEO transitions are speeding up, AI is rewriting the skills every role demands, and decades of hard-won wisdom are walking out the door for retirement. The successors you name today must be ready to lead the moment you need them.
We’re shifting the mindset of what succession really is: a leadership-readiness capability the whole organization owns.
Join us as we explore how our succession planning research — spanning 60 years of Emmy- and Golden Globe–nominated television shows, industry case studies, and peer-reviewed articles — shows how the strongest organizations move from replacement planning to a network of ready leaders: one that reduces immediate succession risk, strengthens continuity through transition, and helps leaders transfer the judgment and wisdom future leadership requires.
