Succession Planning is a talent management strategy that all big companies aiming to transcend should have. This systematic process consists in identifying and developing potential leaders from your business as successors for key role positions. In this scenario, open communication with your team throughout the entire process is of utmost importance for the support and validation on the leadership changes.
Share your plans with the team. A quick presentation of your Talent Management area and its key tasks on the succession planning process will reinforce transparency in the workplace and motivate employees to build a career path on your company. It is also important for the potential candidates to be aware of the goals set and how their performance will be measured.
Use this matrix as a visual tool to identify clearly the position of your company in terms of culture, core values and general approach to what you look for in your future leaders. The dimensions titled "process-centric" or "people-centric" and "subjective" or "objective" intersect to form four quadrants.
The Succession Planning Template offers two colorful five stage timelines and a vertical five-steps diagram to describe the status of each phase: identify, document, assess, transition and develop. Multiple arrows and business icons are added as support to illustrate the process in an engaging way.

"24Slides helps us get PowerPoints on-brand, and improve overall design in a timeframe that is often “overnight”. Leveraging the time zone change and their deep understanding of PowerPoint, our Marketing team has a partner in 24Slides that allows us to focus purely on slide content, leaving all of the design work to 24Slides."

"The key to the success with working with 24Slides has been the designers’ ability to revamp basic information on a slide into a dynamic yet clean and clear visual presentation coupled with the speed in which they do so. We do not work in an environment where time is on our side and the visual presentation is everything. In those regards, 24Slides has been invaluable."
