Talent Management Readiness Guide

Is your organization ready for formal talent reviews and succession planning? A self-assessment to determine where you stand and what to build first.

What’s Inside

This is the same readiness framework used in our Talent Management Consulting engagements. It evaluates eight dimensions that determine whether your organization can implement — and sustain — a formal talent review and succession planning process.

For each dimension, you’ll find a description of what readiness looks like, specific indicators to evaluate, and guidance on what to build first if gaps exist. Complete the self-assessment in 15–20 minutes to get a clear picture of your starting point.

Readiness isn’t about having everything perfect — it’s about building the right things in the right order for your size and stage.
