Succession planning and talent management training

Build the pipeline that powers your organization. Elevate the top to lead what’s next.

Building a strong pipeline while elevating the leaders already at the top demands more than one solution. IMD does both.

The stakes have never been higher. CEO turnover is at record levels, succession pipelines are thin, and the gap between what leaders know and what their next role demands grows faster than organizations can close it. These are the pain points we hear most – and the ones we’re built to address.

Only 20% of CHROs believe they have the talent ready to fill key leadership roles when the time comes. Just 49% of those roles could be filled internally — despite 75% of companies saying internal promotion is a priority. And with the World Economic Forum projecting that 65% of today’s roles will no longer exist in 15 years, the question isn’t only whether your pipeline is strong enough. It’s whether it’s pointed in the right direction.

How IMD can support your organization

For executives stepping into new or expanded roles, our programs provide a fast track to effective management – accelerating the transition and shortening the learning curve. For those already at the top, they offer the rare opportunity to step back, challenge assumptions, and sharpen leadership in a rapidly evolving environment.
