Assignment:
To complete this Assignment, respond to the following in a 3- to 5-page paper:
Develop a company-wide succession planning policy and communication plan that effectively changes the organizational culture.
o Create a list of the top three implementation barriers associated with your organization's succession plan.
- Outline the way in which you would address each of these barriers.
o Solidify the role you would like each member of the triumvirate (HR professional, CEO, and board of directors) to play in this succession plan. For example, should they continue to play the roles you identified in last week's Assignment, or should their roles be strategically refocused?
- Support your response by writing a role description for each player.
o Include a mission statement for your succession plan. (Note: This mission statement should not be the same as the organization's public mission statement. Instead, it should reflect the purpose of implementing your succession plan. Use Exhibit 6-3, Worksheet to Formulate a Mission Statement for Succession Planning and Management, on page 145 of the Rothwell text to guide you during the creation of your mission statement.)
o Propose two to three goals you hope your plan will achieve. For example, what cultural changes would you like to see?
o Describe three long-term procedures that support the policies you will need to put into place to help change the organization's succession planning culture,for example, Dormant's ABCD model described on pages 128-131 of the course text Effective Succession Planning.
Develop the key pieces (noting this is not a full-fledged communications plan) of an effective communication plan.
o Explain the rationale behind your succession planning initiative.
- Why are you implementing a new process for identifying successors?
- How can this enhance the organization's sustainable, competitive advantage?
- How will each person in the organization be involved? In addition, how might this new process affect individuals working in the organization?
- Describe mentoring options, as well as opportunities for growth.
- Outline at least two internal and two external recruitment methods you aim to use.
- Include a positive sentiment that will increase buy-in through all levels of your organization.
o Identify at least three communication methods (e.g., internal memo, town hall meetings, outside news releases, etc.) you would use to underline the importance of both the succession plan and the needed change in organizational culture.
- Justify why you would use these communication methods over other available options. For example, how would these specific communication methods fit the needs and culture of the organization and its employees?
