Succession Planning

Succession planning is an essential activity that identifies and manages operational risks related to talent to ensure business continuity.  

By properly assessing the strategic roles and competencies of your teams in achieving your business objectives, mitigation plans, individual development plans and retention solutions can be developed and implemented to ensure effective risk management.

"To ensure business continuity, it is critical to identify and manage operational risks related to talent, both in technical and management expertise. It is also important for an organization to find hidden talent and develop it to ensure succession throughout the company." - Josée-Christine Boilard, President and Founder of Talent Flex
