TM - June 2008 - (Page 43) The purpose of a succession plan is to decrease interruptions and negative business impact in the event a leader leaves the organization. Traditionally, succession efforts focused only on C-suite-level positions, but pivotal non-C-suite roles also should be included in a comprehensive succession plan. or most companies, showing leadership consistency during CEO transitions is essential to ensure business continuity and maintain the confidence of customers, investors and key talent. Imagine the business and stock implications for Apple if Steve Jobs’ health scare had turned out differently or if McDonald’s didn’t have a successor ready in 2004 after Jim Cantalupo died suddenly of a heart attack at age 60. Smart organizations also realize interruptions in leadership below the CEO level can have a major impact on business operations and productivity. This knowledge has prompted many companies to look for a more comprehensive succession management system that will allow them to operate seamlessly during any leadership transition. Succession Value Beyond the C-Suite Succession management should not be a standalone practice. A good succession management plan is woven into an overall HR system that values continuous talent assessment and development programs. For example, programs that identify which high performers have the potential to ascend the corporate ladder should be linked with succession management.
