Succession Planning for Organizations

Overview

As more and more professionals in city management approach retirement, many cities face a shortage of qualified candidates and are ill prepared for the increasingly urgent task of succession planning. In response to this challenge, The Waters Consulting Group now offers a powerful tool, CareerNavigator™, a customized, valid competency model and personality assessment survey*. It reaches well beyond the scope of interviews to provide insightful, statistically reliable information for municipal governments in the selection, development, and promotion of city managers and other senior management positions.

CareerNavigator™ measures candidates for the core leadership competencies needed to be successful in city management (see sample reports), and, as such, supports the full employment lifecycle, equipping municipal governments with the critical tools they need to support a thriving workforce. It takes the guesswork out of the hiring and succession planning process, revealing the key information that resumes and references fail to provide. It also identifies career growth and development opportunities and provides a plan of action for performance management.
