MANAGEMENT PLANNING – Are You in Control of Your Management Pipeline?

 

Use MindShift’s self-evaluation questionnaire to assess your Management Planning approach

 

 

 

Restructuring has been on the agenda of many companies during the past two years. Change in organizational structure has implications for both management structure and the required quantity and competencies of talent in the management pipeline. Structural change, demands for increased effectiveness and the ever-changing competitive landscape present companies with challenges that require a double-focus in terms of management planning: securing the current management pool and immediate successors, while developing a firmly grounded, long-term approach for nurturing the management talent required in the future.

 

 

The approach companies take to Management Planning determines their success in securing the management pipeline needed to meet their business challenges and goals. A well functioning Management Planning process includes a consistent and proactive way of working through the entire management life cycle. By taking control over its management resources in this way, a company reduces risks related to performance, turnover, and competence, and thereby increases its competitive advantage.

How to create a consistent and proactive approach

MindShift has supported numerous clients working to develop their Management Planning strategies and processes. While each company’s approach is tailored to meet its specific situation and needs, three key elements of Management Planning need always be in place:

  • The Management Planning structure – identifying the purpose of Management Planning in your organisation by outlining the scope, target group, management development levels and management evaluation procedure

  • The Management Planning cycle – identifying the forums where Management Planning is carried out, the key steps in the Management Planning process and the timing of these steps in line with the business cycle

  • The Management Planning tool – identifying the appropriate Management Planning tool for your organisation. For many, a supporting tool may be developed in Excel, while others may require a more complex system for collecting and aggregating data and for action-planning for various management levels and groups

An approach that contains these three elements provides a strong foundation for securing a consistent and proactive approach to Management Planning.
