This is a big question and really depends on your current methods for succession planning.

For example, organizations with clearly defined competencies will find this an easier process to integrate into their succession planning initiatives. Given this, depending on the process you use for your performance reviews, you could and should certainly use some of the data from a review for succession planning purposes.

In fact, this is a key reason as to why most organizations feel they need to gather data through the review. Of course, you should be gathering more ongoing information to inform succession planning processes as well. You should use these as an opportunity to craft conversations around scoping whether you have high performers, high potentials as well as scope opportunities for replacement planning.

The conversations should also inform where individuals want to move – could it be lateral, progress into leadership or even diagonal? There are so many options and using Reviews and performance conversations overall are a great way to diagnose this and capture this information.
