February 2014 Virtual Meeting
**Details** Are you trying to connect the dots of your strategic workforce planning and succession planning activity? On February 11, Doris Sims, renowned Talent Review and Succession Planning thought leader and author, will be speaking with our exchange. We will be opening this session up to several of our exchanges to discuss how our members are building integrated talent planning systems.
Doris is the author of The 30-Minute Guide to Talent and Succession Management, The Talent Review Meeting Facilitator’s Guide, Creative On-boarding Programs, and Building Tomorrow’s Talent. She is a leading international expert on the talent review process and succession strategy. Doris was formerly a Director of Talent Management at CVS/Caremark, an i4cp member company.
The session title: Creating Success in Your Succession Planning. As Doris explains, "attend this session to learn what Johnny Carson, football teams, coffee beans and ladders can teach us about succession planning. Obtain simple actions and tools to proactively plan for business and employee growth and to plan for potential talent losses. Learn new ways to explain the business value of talent reviews and succession planning to business leaders. View succession planning as a critical risk management business function, and obtain ideas to identify succession development actions to increase successor readiness and validity."
Come prepared to discuss how succession planning and strategic workforce planning are aligned (or not) in your organization.
