Succession and Talent Development

Developing good succession plans and retaining, motivating and developing future leaders is a key Board responsibility.

Group HR and Talent Development teams have to execute these plans within their resources, which are usually financial and time limited. Time also has the constraint of both finite people resource and business critical deadlines.

The organisation will be asking more from these future leaders to maximise their potential and assess their capability for Board roles. An external Mentor will help the organisation to ensure a successful transition, providing constant and trusted support. This can be integrated with other development programmes within your organisation.

We do not compete with leadership and coaching programmes aimed at certain levels within the organisation. Ours is a bespoke service tailored to individuals in specific situations. These include individuals identified as having Board potential, those who have been newly appointed or promoted and those looking to develop their career into their first Non-Executive role.

With the Davies report, and increasingly other guidelines, emphasising "comply or explain" on Board diversity, we can help the organisation demonstrate it is taking positive action to work towards these targets
