The second outcome is to create a system for tracking each potential successor’s progress on a monthly basis. This would involve developing a detailed profile for each individual and scheduling regular reviews to assess their progress. An efficient system would be created to ensure successful monitoring of progression.
The third part of the OKR is concerned with implementing a training program for 70% of the identified successors. This is essential to reduce skill gaps. It emphasizes designing a training program to address these gaps, enrolling 70% of successors in the program, and pinpointing integral skill gaps.
This OKR is about long-term organizational sustainability. It implies comprehensive planning and management to ensure future leaders are identified and adequately prepared, guaranteeing a seamless transition during leadership changes and stability for the organization.
