Learn How to Leverage SIGMA’s Succession Planning Process
Succession planning is a necessary strategic leadership development process for organizations of all sizes. However, many companies operate without a strategic plan for their future. Often, succession planning is delayed not because companies don’t understand the importance, but because they don’t know where to begin.
To get you started, we’ve developed an engaging Succession Planning Training. The workshop is delivered in two half-day virtual sessions, both of which are designed to provide concentrated, interactive, succession planning training. By the end of this training, you will understand succession planning, hold a working succession plan for a position of your choice, and have the knowledge and tools to replicate the process across all levels of your organization. These sessions are highly concentrated and interactive.
SIGMA is recognized by SHRM to offer Professional Development Credits (PDCs) for SHRM-CP® or SHRM-SCP®.
