Succession Planning

How do you maintain the elite workforce you have now, for years to come?

It’s no secret that tomorrow’s organizational success is dependent on putting the right leaders in the right roles at the right time. Yet, studies show that most companies don’t have a formalized succession plan in place – lack of planning can be detrimental to a business. Boards and leaders of organizations know the value in effective planning but the question commonly arises … where do we start?

Set up your org chart with AI agents

A succession plan starts with a clear picture of who you have. Our AI agents build that picture from what you already hold, in hours rather than weeks, so the workshop starts from your real organization.

  1. 1Reads your people fileYou export your people from The Predictive Index. An agent reads it and finds everyone, their titles, who reports to whom, their departments and their behavioural profiles.
  2. 2Reads your strategyGive it your strategy document or your public website and it reads what the company is trying to do, so the chart is judged against your goals, not a generic template.
  3. 3Draws the chartEvery person on one chart, with their Reference Profile and pattern, filtered by department or coloured by profile. Drag someone onto a new role and see the change before it is saved.
  4. 4Shows where it could breakIt flags the key people you can least afford to lose, scores how ready the people below each role are to step up, and suggests the reorganization options with the least disruption.

Every number on the chart comes from your data; what the agents write is marked as theirs, and nothing changes until you approve it.
