Feedback på debatoplæg om successionsplanlægning

Engelske FRC har netop offentliggjort “UK Board Succession Planning Discussion Paper” som giver en masse gode råd om, hvordan bestyrelsen kan tilrettet successionsplanlægningen for direktionsmedlemmer. Blandt andet hedder det om at sikre en god pipeline: “The discussion paper focussed on the importance of preparing a solid pipeline of high quality internal candidates who can be ready for senior management and board positions in a range of situations. How do companies review their internal talent and what development practices do they use in support of succession planning? What are the best ways to ensure that board members become more familiar with the work of internal candidates and their skills and attributes? Talent management was highlighted as a strong motivational force for employees who wish to develop their career within the company and achieve senior positions thereby providing a variety of strong internal candidates. Respondents, therefore, pointed out that the nomination committee should consider taking a more active interest in talent management. We received detailed submissions, particularly from financial institutions, about the methods used to identify, develop, track and prepare internal candidates for senior management and board positions.”
