 Simulation of Succession Planning Scenarios

Use

This function allows you to analyze the knock-on effects of an employee transferral. Using various criteria, you can simulate (over several levels) the vacant positions caused by an employee transferral, and the resulting need for successors.

When you simulate succession planning for a position or other object, the system always simulates the transferral of the person with the highest suitability. The system then works through a succession scenario for the new vacancy caused by this person. The simulation stops if a successor does not leave behind a position, if a successor does not leave behind a position that required restaffing, or if it reaches an obsolete position.

Features

The following functions are available:

  • You can use various planning criteria when simulating a succession planning scenario. You can select individual criteria and combine them as you please. You can use the following criteria:

  • Qualifications

  • Preferences

  • Potentials

  • Designations

  • Dislikes

  • Career

  • Additional career

Note Note

If you use the Include potentials criterion, the potentials for qualifications from the corresponding subprofiles will not be taken into account.

The criterion Exclude dislikes is really only useful if used in conjunction with another planning criterion.

End of the note.

  • The result of the simulation of succession is a list of all the transferrals needed as a consequence of the original transferral. All positions are displayed with their new holders.

  • You can save the simulation of succession to file and/or print it out.
