At Knowledge Infusion, we spend a lot of time with enterprise organizations and vendors helping to define the future of succession planning and management in organizations. Succession Management does not only involve technology, but much more a process and sustainability model. Forbes has an interesting article linked to below, and here are there top 10 for Succession success:
Prioritize It # Develop a Toolkit # Give Honest Feedback # Ensure Accountability # Think Globally, Act Locally # Balance Today and Tomorrow # Make the Call # Stretch your Best People # Make Compensation Reflective # Step Outside
These are all components of a HR, HCM and Talent Management Strategy that are necessary to leverage technology in the best possible way. Without these ten priorities in place, technology will be nothing more than a fancy looking org chart.
The more these topics get covered in magazines like Forbes, the larger the demand on the HR and HRIT functions to deliver tools and processes to support these requirements.
