Succession planning is a process for identifying and developing new leaders, who can replace old ones when they leave, retire or die.
This planning increases the availability of experienced and capable hands that are prepared to assume these roles as they become available. Taken narrowly, “replacement planning” for key roles is the heart of succession planning.
In the military, police and other armed security services as well as in every government institution, succession planning aims for continuity of leadership, preventing a chaotic power struggle by preventing a power vacuum.
