Possibilities include:

Vital Signs of Unhealthy Succession Planning Systems—and How to Make Them Healthy . Is your succession planning system all form and little function? Do managers and HR march through the drill like the walking dead? Get your system on its feet, ready to flex its muscles and deliver results now—as well as the long term .

Yes Small Business Leader, There is Succession Planning . . . that Works for You . Small businesses often look at the systems and practices of large companies and conclude, “I can't make that work here.” The good news is that they don't need to implement big company systems to get results. In fact, the essential drivers of short and long term leadership development are conceptually much simpler than you think and there are high power ways to make progress that do not require the complex systems big companies use.

Coaching that Counts. Are you avoiding hiring coaches because you aren't sure of the value? Are you unhappy with the return on investment in coaches? How do you decide when to invest and how do you make sure you are getting your money's worth?

Big Hat; No Cattle. Like the Texan who has the right hat but never rounded up a steer in his life, HR folks can have the business partner title but never make a significant impact on the business. What does it really take to contribute to business success? How can people determine if they have the right stuff to self-select into the role? How can HR leaders determine who is likely to rise to the occasion? What development strategies work to develop the capacity to do strategic HR work?

Innovation Expedition. Would you like people to go beyond benchmarking and best practice incrementalism to make true breakthroughs? This large group workshop provides tools and applied experience in innovative thinking and results in “seeds” of new ideas ready to be planted back on the job.
