Succession Risk Landscape
Are you prepared?
Can you convincingly demonstrate to your senior leadership that suitable successors are quickly available for all key positions that are critical to success?
If so - congratulations! Then you are one of the less than 10% of organizations that can offer precisely this certainty in our study "Talent policy on the test bench".
For the majority, however, the reality is different:
Succession planning is unsystematic, reactive and often based on gut instinct. This leads to high risks - for the company's ability to act, strategic management and future security.
Why strategic succession management is crucial
Long-term corporate success requires early clarity about who can take on key roles - and how these people can be systematically prepared for them.
Strategic talent and succession management not only ensures continuity, but also quality:
through the timely identification of potential successors,
through targeted development along clear competence profiles,
and through decision-relevant transparency for management.
However, companies often get bogged down in overly complex planning. What is missing is a clear overview - a clear picture of succession risks.
The succession risk landscape - visibility for succession gaps
The Succession Risk Landscape is a strategic analysis and management tool that we have developed specifically for systematic succession planning.
You benefit from
- Clarity about the succession situation in all key positions
- Transparency through a visual representation of critical succession gaps
- Fact-based priorities for targeted action
This allows you to recognize personnel risks before they become a problem and make well-founded decisions on succession - predictable, comprehensible and strategically effective.
