The term “succession management” has been used to describe a wide variety of activities that involve planning for key transitions in leadership within organizations.  Researchers and practitioners alike are continually looking for ways to start or improve such programs and to determine what to focus on in these types of programs and how to do it right.  This research has shown that organizations with better operational results are more likely to have succession planning programs yet only 40-65% (depending on different research conclusions) of organizations have formal succession planning processes in place.
