The obvious successor may not necessarily be the leader an organisation needs next.
As regulation, technology and business models change, Atul Mathur, EVP–HR, Aditya Birla Capital, argues that succession planning must move beyond identifying the next person in the queue. What matters increasingly is whether potential leaders have the learning agility and breadth of experience to lead through a future that may look very different from today.
In this excerpt from HRKatha Futurecast: The Future of Succession in BFSI, held in association with People Business, Mathur explains why succession is ultimately about preparing the organisation for what comes next.
