Senior Executive Board Benchmark-It Promotion Potential Assessment


Presenter: William Rothwell, President, Rothwell & Associates, Inc.
Bpi, Learning and Leadership Development Staff, Best Practice Institute Louis Carter, CEO, BPI

Description

Assessing potential for promotion is an important issue in succession planning and in talent management. How is it possible to know if someone can assume more responsibility in a job with higher responsibility if the employer has never seen the person do that job? That is often the challenge. Yet the research indicates that fewer than 40 percent of U.S. employers assess promotion potential separately from current job performance. The danger, of course, is that it leads to the assumption that success in the present job guarantees success in jobs at higher levels of responsibility. That assumption can lead to mistakes made in promotions, and those mistakes are not easily corrected.
This session reviews ways to assess promotion potential separately from measuring present job performance.

Upon completing this session, participants will be able to:
• Define potential (in more than one way) and distinguish it from performance
• Explain why assessing potential is important
• Review how potential assessment relates to the larger framework of succession planning and talent management
• Describe common and not-so-common ways to assess promotion potential

Brief Outline
I. Introduction
II. Defining Promotion Potential
• More than one way to understand the concept
• Common definition

III. How Promotion Potential Relates to the Framework of Succession Planning and Talent Management
IV. Approaches to Assessing Promotion Potential
V. Final Questions and Answers
