Closing the Middle‑Management Gap: Practical Succession Playbooks for 2026

Many organizations have names on a chart but no bench that’s actually ready. This session focuses on building succession that works in practice: clarifying critical roles, mapping skills and risk, and running accelerated development sprints so successors are truly ready for 2026.

What you will learn:

• A pragmatic succession framework you can deploy in weeks, not quarters

• How to stabilize talent gaps and accelerate readiness with HR‑Business partnership

• When to leverage interim or fractional leaders, and how to use assessments to target development sprints

Who should attend:

• CHROs, HR Directors, Heads of Talent, HRBPs

• Business Unit leaders and GMs accountable for succession and continuity

• Talent COE and L&D leaders building capability pathways

Format and timing:

• Date and time: Thu, Nov 13, 2025, 3:30–4:45 PM GMT+8

• 60–75 minutes including live Q&A

• Platform: Microsoft Teams
