RATIONALE
Organizations and households thrive better when there is continuity and sustainable succession plan. In recent time, the number of people retiring from work seems higher than those entering the workforce. The result is a yawning responsibility gap at both corporate and household levels. Guarantee for societal sustainability is predicated on closing these gaps.
From a corporate perspective, succession planning focuses on the imperative of leadership continuity within an organization through recruiting and/or encouraging individual employee growth and development. At the individual level, it stresses the need to sensitize retiring officers on the need to begin early to prepare deserving persons who will take over from them in order to avoid leadership vacuum. Such preparation can be done through
education, mentoring, and gradual transfer of accumulated knowledge, skills, experience and other related legacies in an orderly manner.
Whether at the corporate or individual level, succession planning and mentoring constitutes a complex mix of talent management. It goes beyond people. It is about having the right people in the right places at the right time. It is also about balancing the need for preservation of organizational memory, “tribal knowledge” through the retention of
existing talents with the desire to shop in a tight labour market where there is shortage of top talents for scarce human capital. It is the desire to explore practical perspectives for achieving succession planning and mentoring, from both organizational and individual perspectives, using real examples that this workshop has been designed.
