Challenging Your Talent Management and Succession Planning Programs

Recorded Session
90 Minutes

Leaders who launch succession planning and talent management programs are often asked to show whether they work. This 90-minute webinar explains how to evaluate succession planning and talent management and why it is a different task from evaluating training and development.

You'll look at the unique challenges of measuring these programs, how the evaluation is similar to and different from training evaluation, and the models and metrics that can guide your approach. The session highlights the metrics that matter most and best practices for evaluation.

It closes with predictions about where succession planning and talent management evaluation is heading.
