JOB-BASED SUCCESSION PLANS AND A HIERARCHICAL VIEW OF THE SUCCESSION PLAN

摘要

A system and method for facilitating succession management in an organization, such as an enterprise. The example method includes displaying, at a first level of a hierarchy, a first representation of a position and any incumbent assigned to the position, and illustrating, at a second level of a hierarchy, one or more second representations of one or more candidate successors to the position. The one or more candidate successors are grouped according to an indication of readiness associated with each of the one or more candidate successors. In a specific embodiment, a user option enables changing an indication of readiness assigned to a candidate successor by repositioning the candidate successor into a different readiness group within the hierarchy. Displayed data supporting candidate-readiness determinations includes data pertaining to performance history, experience, qualifications, or talent rating associated with each candidate successor.
