Sedgwick County developed a Succession Planning process for assuring the sustainability of organizational knowledge and the continuity of leadership within the organization. The Succession Planning process has three goals: to identify critical positions within the organization that require a higher level of leadership development, to identify critical positions, and to develop the identified individuals for these positions by offering different programs of organizational development. By implementing this process, Sedgwick County Government will succeed in growing leadership capacity and retaining organizational knowledge.
