What is Succession Planning?
Succession Planning is a process of developing talent to meet the current and future human resource needs of the organization. A succession program is a deliberate and systematic effort by an organization to ensure leadership continuity in key positions, retain and develop intellectual knowledge capital for the future, and encourage individual advancement.
A Succession Plan will enable organizations to respond positively to the projected human resource shortages over the next several years, an important and critical role within government, profit and non-profit businesses. Making provisions for the development, replacement, and strategic use of personnel in key positions will prepare you for that role.
Why a Certificate Program?
The most successful succession planning processes work to integrate existing multiple systems such as performance reviews, coaching, internal recruiting efforts, and training and professional development activities. Professionals who participate in each module of the Certificate Program will develop a global understanding and appreciation of their current internal systems in order to plan and implement an integrated succession plan for the future well-being of their organization.
Participants who complete the Succession Planning Certificate Program will also be awarded 2.0 CEUs (Continuing Education Units) from SUNY Oswego.
