3. COMPETITION
Organizations that understand the need to manage the
development of their high performers are a step ahead of their
competitors! The effort required to establish a development
program for future leaders is worthwhile because it creates a
motivated and capable group of employees that are ready to
move forward in the organization when the need arises.

Succession Planning
Ways to Implement
1.REVIEWING TALENT
One of the challenges in all organizations is planning for HR
needs. It is essential to adopt a disciplined approach to match HR
resources with the anticipated needs of an organization. This
includes aligning the succession planning process with business
strategy. “The purpose of the talent review is to figure out the
talent required to implement the business strategy and constantly
strengthen the talent pool. The talent review and planning process
helps us identify talent for emerging roles in the organization,”
says Bijay Sahoo, vice-president (talent engagement and
development) and head of HR, Wipro Technologies. Commitment
from the top management is another key factor for ensuring the
success of succession planning. Sahoo reveals that in Wipro, the
chairman (Azim Premji) and vice-chairman and CEO (Vivek Paul)
give enormous importance and their personal time for talent
review and planning, and personally supervise the development
and implementation of the talent plan for key roles.
According to Sahoo, the other essential factors are:
(a) Accountability, as the succession planning program requires
ownership at all levels in the organization. Each manager should
be responsible for assessing and developing the talent in his or
her team.
(b) Constant attention, as it can be tempting to overlook the need
for succession planning in the face of more immediate needs.

5.JUST-IN-TIME SUCCESSION
Then there’s just-in-time succession, which maps existing
competencies of the staff to fill an important position. Succession
planning software uses competency analysis which lets
companies understand the demand side of the equation with
what their staff has to offer. “Succession planning is not an issue
of a position; you can plan for two or three years, but by that
time the to-be-successor may have already left the organisation;
consequently it is not relevant. Instead of looking at a job to fill,
organizations should profile it in terms of competencies, go to
the data bank, and find whose competency profile matches the
job,” advises Stephen Martin, president of ITAP Europe. The key
to this is competency development across the organisation; ITAP
has done succession planning for many global organizations
through competency development.

Models of Succession
Planning
There are three main models that companies use to
implement succession planning:

Succession Planning
Advantages Disadvantages

talent pool • Existing employee-base may not
• Defines and builds future have required skills and experience
skills required for the for key posts and outside hiring
success of the organization can lead to resentment
• Motivates and retains • Managers may be frustrated by not
employees by involvement being allowed to choose a
in their career growth successor

ADVANTAGES
Succession planning helps you take a more strategic approach to
leadership development, employee skill assessment and perhaps
even more important as baby boomers retire – preserving critical
organizational knowledge. With incumbents ready to go any time an
expected or unexpected change occurs in your organization, you
can ensure business continuity at all levels of the organization. the
main advantage of succession planning in an organization is the
active development of a strong ‘talent resource’ for the future which
is vital to attract and retain the best and key people which will help
in present and more for the future growth of the organization.
The key is to match the needs of the organization to the goals of the
individual. Keeping talented people in place by providing them with
opportunities they may not receive elsewhere will create a stronger
and more loyal group of future managers and executives thus
saving the company’s recruiting and hiring costs over the long-term
24
Succession Planning
It provides
An ongoing supply of well trained, broadly experienced, well-
motivated people who are ready and able to step into key
positions as needed.
A cadre of desirable candidates who are being integrated into
the company with positive goals established for them
individually.
A flow of these capable people through various departments
with the goals of educating them into the culture and
processes of the company.
Alignment of the future needs of the company with the
availability of appropriate resources within the company.
Positive goals for key personnel, which will help keep them
with the company and will help assure the continuing supply of
capable successors for each of the important positions
included in the succession plan.
Defined career paths, which will help the company recruit and
retain better people.
Very likely, the continuous input of ideas to improve the
internal processes and procedures of the company, as well as
the opportunities to improve the offerings and services of the
company in the marketplace.

Succession Planning
DISADVANTAGES
Succession planning suffers from pitfalls like:-
• Focusing only on the 'technical competencies' and failing to
consider the team-building and leadership development
requirements
• Underestimating people within the organization or overlooking
employees that don't appear to fit your standard 'company
template'
• Implementing a program that is designed for upward mobility
only - lateral succession moves should also be included in the
plan
• Failing to offer the appropriate training and developmental
opportunities
• Creating a development program that only offers generic
'leadership' training programs
• And the two biggest errors made regarding succession
planning efforts:
Not holding managers & leaders accountable for succession
planning
• Not sharing the data with employees - you run the risk of
losing promising employees if they don't feel the company has
a plan for their development
• Lack of a formal written plan for each key person or position.
• A rigid, inflexible plan NOT tailored to the needs and abilities of
the personnel involved.
• Too long a wait for real movement/promotion, potentially
resulting in the best people leaving due to apparent inertia in
the system.

Succession Planning
When Brar took over as Ranbaxy's MD & CEO, the company did
not have any family representation on the board. It was truly a
company managed by professionals. However, by the
beginning of the 2000s, the Singh family reportedly decided to
take control of the firm.
Reportedly, he had revealed his retirement plans in 1997 itself.
Brar had said that he would retire in 2002, after completing 25
years with Ranbaxy
Tempest takes over. Tempest is expected to continue till
Malvinder Singh is groomed to done the mantle
Under the leadership of Tempest, Ranbaxy planned to focus on
HR planning

Suggestions
Market pressure is increasing day by day and in order to face
the market pressure the succession planning should be done in such
a way that different players of top management can handle
different roles or one man should be able to do all work and handle
all roles.
“The man for all seasons”
The top management is the one who heads all the
departments and prepares rules regulations and does planning for
the organization. Thus this top management should not be in
pressure so that the other employee who is being promoted to top
management should feel comfortable at his place as the new person
will not be able to handle the pressure at the beginning.
Every organization requires special talent for its top
management so the organization should fulfill all the needs and
requirements of the deserving and talented people whom they feel
can be recruited to the top management. This will ultimately help in
talent retention.
We suggest that every organization should follow succession
planning so that the top management of the organization is with
talented people and also during emergency they have a proper
substitute for the same.

Succession Planning
Conclusion
By the end of our project we come over to a conclusion related
to succession planning that most of the companies still feel that
their growth was limited because they did not have the right talent
and many companies lack the right leadership talent.
