Identifying and Developing Talent within Succession Planning

This month we’ve been talking about high potentials- identifying, developing, and keeping them. Any discussion of high potentials naturally takes the conversation to succession planning- which is the process of developing the next generation of organizational leadership. Our very own I/Oers, Dr. Marni Falcone and Mike Camburn, were featured in a webinar by the Society of Industrial Organizational Psychology (SIOP) that talks in detail about succession planning. The webinar introduces concepts for creating the foundation for effective succession planning by deconstructing the process into six common steps and, as a part of that discussion, goes into a discussion of identification and cultivation of high potentials. Take it away, Mike and Marni!
