Understanding the Nature of Succession Planning

Stagrow Consultancy16 Apr, 2025Finance

Succession planning is a forward-thinking strategy used by companies to find and groom future leaders who can step in for current ones when the need arises. It is a critical process that guarantees the sustainability of an organization by anticipating the inevitable leadership changes that result from retirements, resignations, or unexpected events. Without succession planning, organizations can suffer severe interruptions, leading to loss of knowledge, productivity, and even market share. This succession planning strategy is not only about replacing top executives but also about building a talent pipeline across all levels of an organization.
