SUCCESSION PLANNING AND HIGH POTENTIALS

CHOICES Architect® is Lominger’s research-based, experience-tested set of tools that can help you identify and verify high-potential talent to develop for future leadership positions, assign to specific jobs or teams, select for tough and first-time assignments, and help build a learning organization.  The key is to change the definition of potential.  No longer do you want to think of potential as just being promotable.  We’ve learned from our research that “Learning Agility” is the key to success when promoted.  We’d like to share the concept with you and show you how to teach your line managers to recognize it.

We make an important distinction between "High Performers" and "High Potentials".  Too often companies promote High Performers without truly evaluating whether they have much chance of reproducing that performance once they get to the new role.  From our research, we've learned that only 29% of High Performers are also High Potentials, yet 93% of High Potentials are also High Performers.  Picking High Potentials for those promotions vastly improves their chance of success.  We can show you how to do it effectively and efficiently.

Be sure to ask for a copy of the thought-provoking article from Lominger, “The 7 CEO’s in Your Company.”  It will change the way you look at succession planning.

Insuring the continued success of your organization is a prime responsibility for any leader.  Are you preparing the leaders yours will need?  If you plan to simply hire from outside rather than develop from within it's a pretty risky strategy.  In effect, you've delegated that developmental responsibility to other companies.  Your “bet” is that those other companies will provide all the right experiences that someone for your key positions will need and that you’ll be able to recruit their high potential employees at just the time you need them.

Today's boards and executive committees are becoming increasingly aware of the need to plan for succession and for the need to start early.  Lominger’s Succession Architect® tool can help you create a truly effective succession planning process for your organization.  We'd like to talk with you about effective tools and a process that can make succession planning really work in your organization.
