Build the talent and leadership pipeline your organisation needs for sustainable future growth
HCI believes that succession planning is an objective, intentional, and systematic effort to ensure leadership continuity by identifying and developing current and future leaders who will lead and execute the organisation’s strategic priorities. In other words, it helps current leaders and HR stakeholders answer these two critical questions: Who should lead? And when?
HCI also believes that building a strong leadership pipeline requires talent that is nurtured and developed at all levels and in alignment with an organisation’s business strategy. This is the best way to ensure individual readiness and support future growth.
HCI’s NEW Succession Planning & Talent Development certification program is designed to help you align your organisation’s succession planning and talent development efforts with your business strategy using a practical but compelling framework to guide your team’s efforts.
