Succession Planning

At Imagination, we offer a comprehensive approach to helping you build a team of skilled and dedicated employees.

What is Succession Planning?

Succession planning is identifying, recruiting, training, and mentoring employees with leadership potential, preparing them to step into more senior or executive positions when vacancies occur.

Succession planning ensures that highly qualified people are in all key positions…today, tomorrow, next year, and five years from now. It also ensures that if a position needs to be filled for a day, a month, or permanently, management can quickly find people with the right skills to perform the job duties on a shared basis or to step into the position temporarily or permanently.

Our Process

The process extends beyond filling vacancies and skill gaps to managing the organization’s long-term needs. Good planning focuses on recruiting employees based on organizational needs, developing their skills and abilities, preparing them for advancement, and retaining those employees to ensure a return on the organization’s investment.

RELATED CLIENTS

Dr. Marie Delorme and Colby Delorme carefully guided us through the succession planning process in identifying core competencies required to fill key roles in the event of vacancies or retirement.  They took the time to carefully explain the entire process and helped us create a realistic plan to ensure that key roles and duties within our First Nation are filled.
