Succession Planning
Defensible Coverage for Critical Roles
Identify successors using verified capability signals and role expectations—so every bench decision can be explained and defended.
From Skills Signals to Succession Readiness
Succession is only as strong as the data behind it. Build coverage plans on governed role requirements and verified skill signals, see readiness gaps by candidate, and track progress over time—so you’re not relying on opinion, outdated profiles, or guesswork.
TalentGuard Succession Planning turns skills, performance, and aspirations into readiness-backed coverage plans for key roles—powered by verifiable data, side-by-side comparisons, and risk visibility that leaders can act on.
Critical Role Coverage Rate
% of critical roles with ≥1 and ≥2 named successors
Role-Ready Bench Strength
% of critical roles with at least one successor at/above readiness threshold (define threshold by your target proficiency/criteria)
Succession Risk Exposure
% of critical roles flagged as High Risk (no successor, low readiness, or single point of failure)
Time-to-Readiness
Median months for top successors to reach readiness for their target role
Readiness Confidence
% of successor profiles updated/verified within the last 90/180 days

Explore the tools that will shape your future—discover our features in detail and unlock potential.
Coverage Plans You Can Audit
Define critical roles, document successor criteria, compare candidates side-by-side, and retain the decision trail—so leadership transitions are defensible and repeatable.
Readiness, Not Just Potential
Separate “high potential” from “role-ready” by showing proficiency gaps and time-to-readiness against role expectations, then track progress until coverage is real.
Risk Visibility for Leaders
See where coverage is thin, where flight risk threatens continuity, and where readiness timelines don’t match business needs—so you can intervene early.
A clear view of organizational insights for future needs
Enable managers to see their teams’ bench strengths, tenure risks, and gaps in role succession so they can develop their people with an eye to the future.
