IPO-04 / 18 · Succession

Successor-readiness assessment and calibration guide

Evaluate potential successors against the actual future role using proportionate evidence, fair challenge and explicit availability, then translate gaps into development rather than unsupported promises.

From method to a working client tool.

Use this HR Delivery advisory tool for the actual client issuer, employing entities, sites, workforce and selected listing route. Agree and record the scope, source cut-off, accountable roles and applicable sector/legal requirements before completion. Examples and worked tables belong to the separately labelled fictional Project Sandstone case and must be replaced with actual evidence for client use. Planned routines, timings and resource options are advisory assumptions requiring a separate client decision. Preparation, acceptance or handover does not commission other tools, release their budgets or pass a diagnostic gate.
