Innovations in Succession Management Methods and Applications
Steve Hunt, Director of Business Transformation Services, SuccessFactors
The purpose of succession management is to ensure a steady supply of talent for pivotal positions within an organization. The best way to do this is to create ongoing processes and cultural norms within an organization that ensure it is constantly attracting, developing, retaining, and promoting high potential employees. Yet many companies approach succession as a once-a-year event where employees are "racked and stacked" into broad, often illdefined categories. This session explores innovations in talent management methods and technology allowing organizations to shift away from the traditional succession mindset to less disruptive and more effective approaches which are integral to ongoing TM activities.
End User Adoption Strategies
Leslie Neitzel, Director, SuccessFactors University
The number one question most customers ask is not about a feature, function or process. It's "how can I make sure that people really use this?" We admit there is not a one-size-fits-all solution due to the variations in the circumstances, challenges and cultural differences in various companies. In this session we will draw from a number of customer scenarios and share a series of best practices that you can apply to your own situation. We will discuss the key components of adoption: communication, training and measurement.
