Specialized talent that meets your business needs
is in short supply, an aging workforce poses the
threat of crucial knowledge gaps for key positions,
and the war for talent is more intense than ever
before. With so much uncertainty, developing a
sustainable talent pipeline can make the difference
between the growth or decline of your business.
Recent industry studies show that most companies
have no real leadership development plan or
succession strategy. In times of economic doubt
and increased competition, having the leadership
necessary to navigate through your business’
challenging conditions proves to be invaluable.
Companies must prioritize maintaining clear data
and gaining insights to know which candidates
from their current talent pool are truly worth
developing and investing in.
The Nakisa® SuccessionPlanningTM
module
provides a comprehensive way for your
organization to visualize the talent you have today,
and prepare for the talent and skills you will need
tomorrow. The solution provides Managers, HR &
Executives with a clear process and the tools they
need to deploy talent where it will have the highest
impact in achieving overall business objectives.
