Succession Planning & Bench Strength Toolkit

A readiness framework for your bench, a risk framework for identifying single points of failure, and career conversations that don't over-promise.

A readiness framework for your bench, a risk framework for identifying single points of failure, and career conversations that don't over-promise.

Most teams discover they have no bench the moment someone critical leaves. This toolkit gives you a readiness framework for assessing who could step up and how soon, a risk framework for spotting single points of failure on your team before they become a crisis, and guidance for having career-path conversations that are honest about potential without over-promising a role that may not open up. The companion matrix maps your whole team's bench strength and flags gaps. Instant digital download.

Includes: Guide (.docx) + Bench Strength Matrix (.xlsx)
