Implementing an effective succession plan can produce big results in an organization. The Bersin & Associates Case Study, Hardwiring Performance Measurement: North Shore-Long Island Jewish Health System Focuses on Talent Management to Increase Patient Care Quality, describes how the health care leader transformed their culture using small successful changes:

By looking at the entire employee lifecycle, from hiring to career development to succession, the health system was able to systematically and rapidly make overall improvements in talent management, company culture and business results.

In particular, North Shore-LIJ identified key positions, developed high-potential employees, and created talent pools for succession management. An integrated approach delivered consistency across the process from quality of hire to development and succession.
