The session will start with the complexities organisations face when it comes to succession planning. Who do we develop, why and how? We will talk through the use of performance data, adherence to values, engagement and other dimensions in the talent identification process ultimately debating 'Potential'. How do we measure potential? What does it mean? Once organisations have a 'long list' of candidate nominations, how and what do we assess; leadership behaviour, cognitive agility, learning agility and emotional intelligence. We will then close by making the link between the diagnostic development activities and L&D curriculum design.
