uccession planning is not simply about discovering people for top leadership positions; it is the process for identifying Sand developing internal people with the potential to fill key leadership positions in an organisation: effective management of succession involves building a pipeline of employees ready to step into various key job roles throughout an organization. In uncertain economic times, organisations need a pipeline of well-trained and motivated staff ready to move into key roles when the opportunity arises. Those organisations that plan for succession: • Have a clear strategic understanding of their future roles and skills requirements • Share information across the different Human Resources functions and business as a whole to feed the management succession plan • Understand where talent lies within an organization • Look broadly and creatively at how to distribute internal Industry, Commerce and Tourism Minister talent in order to achieve the best person-job fit Zayed bin Rashid Al Zayani and U.S. Ambassador • Have a clear view of who is in line to replace people that William Roebuck with new office bearers hold key company positions.
