Is Succession Planning Part of Your 2026 Goals?

  • Are you facing critical retirements and wondering where to begin?
  • Are senior leaders asking for succession plans, and you are looking to accelerate the process?
  • Are you lacking a leadership bench to address future business needs?

You’re not alone.
Most organizations recognize succession planning as a top priority, yet few have a clear roadmap.

That’s why we created the Succession Planning Accelerator Workshop. This practical, 16-hour experience provides you with the tools, frameworks, and confidence to develop a comprehensive succession program that actually works for your company.

What You’ll Experience

This immersive workshop is designed to help you transform your approach to talent identification and succession planning. 

You’ll learn how to:

✅ Create executive buy-in for succession planning
✅ Build a program from the ground up — even if you’re starting from scratch
✅ Establish a measurement strategy that demonstrates real business impact
✅ Leverage assessment tools to evaluate leadership potential and readiness
✅ Turn your plan into an iterative, ongoing process, rather than a one-time HR project


What You’ll Receive

In addition to two full days of hands-on learning and peer networking, participants will receive:

  • The Succession Planning Blueprint Workbook — your step-by-step guide to implementation
  • All PowerPoint slides, tools, and templates to use and customize in your own organization
  • Manager training materials to help you cascade the process internally
  • One-hour post-workshop coaching session to guide your next steps
  • Breakfast, lunch, and snacks both days (for in-person sessions)
  • Free on-site parking (for in-person sessions)

You’ll leave with everything you need to launch or rebuild your organization’s succession planning strategy with confidence.
