Competency Frameworks & Succession Planning

Succession Planning
Fostering Future Success Grounded in Collaboration
Succession planning is the process of identifying, developing, and placing the right talent in critical roles to ensure the continued performance of the organization. In addition to the process, it requires ongoing program management to deliver the expected results. A succession plan safeguards that preparation is in place for worst-case talent scenarios. Succession planning is an important part of the talent management process. It provides a way to identify key roles, people with the right skills, and positions that may need filling in a short space of time. It also provides a way to cut the costs of recruitment, enabling organizations to manage recruitment in-house.
A succession plan should showcase growth opportunities and challenge employees to be successful. A strong plan allows employees to have a more positive outlook on their future within the company, which gives the stronger possibility for longevity. Succession planning builds a pool of trained workers who are ready to fill key roles when positions become available. Organizations with succession planning programs in place foster a talent-oriented culture by recruiting skilled workers and top talent.
Never assume all employees desire the same things. Seeing leadership potential in an individual does not mean that an employee shares in a desire for growth. If you see leadership but the employee is not ready, continue to communicate with that individual in case desires change as the company changes as well. Human Resources will typically be responsible for developing the succession plan and distribution of all related materials, as well for its implementation. This must be done with the full involvement and engagement of all senior leaders. The culture of the company must be respectful of the culture of the employees to be most successful.

Critical Approach
Poor Succession Planning Risks
Leadership Vacuum:
Critical leadership positions staying vacant, or worse, being filled by people who cannot handle the job. This can lead to a loss of momentum, a decline in production or service levels, or a drop in public or private reputation.
Talent Thinning:
A thinning of talent resources as key employees is deployed in a reactionary way that does not support business goals. Other departments or areas identified for strategic growth may then lag as leaders focus on putting out fires.
Rapid Executive Assimilation:
Poor assimilation of new executive talent in the organization. Decisions made in haste can result in a bad fit — which only leads to new problems.

Psychological safety is critical to building and maintaining an inclusive and innovative culture. Creating an environment of trust, fairness and autonomy allows everyone to take risks and see the possibilities that will lead the organization's positive and sustainable growth. Through TeamsynerG's proprietary, multi-level WHOLE-PERSON SAFETY® training and mentoring programs, leaders will learn the importance of including everyone at all times and how that can be incorporated as an organic part of any business process. Leaders and the workforce will also be trained in what whole-person safety looks, feels and sounds like. Our communication and engagement training provides the organization with the opportunity to demonstrate how much they value the physical and mental well-being of each and every person who works for their organization. That everyone matters and everyone has the same fair rights to all opportunities. Our programs have a multi-level approach based on levels of work and incorporate a deep assessment of the organization's current policies, practices and standards. Our unique programs have been proven to increase transparency, loyalty, effectiveness, productivity and dramatically reduce employee absence and turn over.
Adaptability is a core competency of agile leadership, and agility begins with resilience and agile and resilient leaders can propel change and reimagine a strategic direction. Agile leaders can overcome obstacles and implement new processes and systems to bridge the gap of their workforce and operational needs and when you have a culture of accountability that is led by example through the leadership, an organization can bring sustainability to long-term business objectives and success. At TeamsynerG, accountability is what has positioned us as a leader in culture and leadership transformation. Accountability is at the root of our company's values and it is something that we pride ourselves on when training and coaching our clients to advance them towards a thriving agile, resilient culture. Our team of experts have designed exclusive accountability behaviour tools that partner with learning objectives to support the need in developing agile people leaders. Agility is sustainable only when it is supported at every level of the organization. Each work level has its own expectations of agile approaches to roles and work outputs and yet there is an expectation that agility is something that is natural human skill. This misconception prevents organizations from investing into agility assessments and training so they know where their gaps exist. Our agility assessment tools reveal what is necessary to support building a framework for personal training and development that is customized and not generalized so that we can provide accurate, direct and impactful accountability, agility and resilient training programs, workshops, mentoring and coaching.
Elevating your full leadership potential is needed now more than any time in history. The paradigm of leadership and its direct impact on employee engagement, business optimization, continuous improvement thriving and safe cultures is a direct result of those who lead top-down. Today we are dealing with planetary trends that unless we take a generative leadership approach we will elevate the impacts of rapid misuse and abuse of our earth's natural resources. Sustainability is not a simple corporate social responsibility initiative to check off the list to satisfy shareholders. Sustainability is now a critical and key element of business strategy and leadership responsibility. Unless this is automatically built into the structure of how business is done, that business will not have a future. At TeamsynerG Global Consulting, we strongly believe we have a shared collective destiny. For this reason, we have taken our over 35 years of leadership development, training and coaching expertise to develop a formula for effective and sustainable impact and holding leaders accountable for their ethical and sustainable choices. This is the first time in history leaders have had to take on the burden of humanity's destructive habits and lead the way. Having a professional coach to guide, train, mentor and lead you through the process is a key element in your success. Our leadership and high performance coaching programs are designed for every level of the organization with special emphasis on the executive level of decision making. We understand that the decision made at the top, impacts all stakeholders and when you are leading change, resistance to change becomes the greatest challenge. Through our proprietary accountability systems, data driven approaches, customized behaviour skill development and coaching methodologies TeamsynerG will work in collaboration with leaders to produce exponential impact through courageous and visionary leadership to create a remarkable shift of inspiring others through massive, bold goals and coaching capabilities.
Identifying risks, threats and opportunities for an organization is critical for progress, productivity, performance and profit. Often there is inconsistency in human and systems performance which impacts the bottom line. When a deep inquiry is performed, assessing and analysing the current situation, an opportunity arises. TeamsynerG Global Consulting is unwilling to compromise when it comes to leading collaborative partnerships that are aligned in data driven approaches. Numbers tell a story and most of all we believe if you are unwilling to pay attention to what the data tells you, you are unwilling to be part of the solution. From compromise, to risk it is essential to not only identify the threats, but to understand the root cause of them or you will continuously keep your operation vulnerable. Our proprietary assessment tools have been designed by our leading edge and innovative thinkers that have taken the understanding of psychometrics, measures of variability, cognitive behaviour metrics and best practice systems validity data to determine and quantify the risks faced by your organization. Our Gap analysis and risk assessment focus on leadership behaviours, team alignment, process and operational systems behaviours, cross functional consistency and department effectiveness. As part of our Gap assessment framework we assess 45 critical areas of human performance through our proprietary tool BRIDGE® and in addition incorporate your organization's identified core values, behaviour competencies and standards in our review. We measure against high performance and best practice leadership behaviours and systems and build in custom survey development and execution to include the people into the process of elevating performance, profits and ensuring everyone is included in the company's purpose.
From strengthening the ability of your senior leaders and workforce to plan, produce, perform and deliver on the organization's goals, to communication strategies and improving on how you measure outcomes, capacity building is essential and the backbone of thriving organizations. TeamsynerG Global Consulting's purpose is to take today's most impactful industries and transform their ability to fulfill on its mission of building a diverse, inclusive and innovative organization that understands the urgency of exponential solutions. Solutions are driven by people. People, who will think through problems, collaborate, identify risks and be resilient to pressure of change and the demand of shifting their organizations into high gear. Moving from good to great takes skill and human behaviour can naturally resist accountability and more importantly the responsibility of an owner's mindset. Buy-in from the workforce can happen organically when the organization genuinely demonstrates putting their people before profits. One of the most effective ways to do this is by investing in your people. The more you invest in their capacity, the more return you will experience that boosts your bottom line. At TeamsynerG our facilitated in-person and virtual team building experiences kick-off the process of transforming a culture and support with the natural resistance to change. TeamsynerG never provides an "off the shelf" approach to our skill development programs, workshops or strategy sessions. We begin with our proven IP methodology and tools and then customize to your unique needs. Through our surveys, assessment and Gap analysis we identified critical needs and prioritized what is essential to de-risk, eliminate threats and take the operational and people performance from unstable to optimized.

Psychosocial Barriers to Accountability
We experience culture through behavior. We feel it in the tone of an email, the silence in a meeting, the look exchanged after someone speaks up.
