Best for
A business owner or leadership team who has an accountability chart, or something like one, and now needs to know honestly who's ready to fill each key seat, who's developing towards it, and where there's genuinely nobody behind the person currently in the role.
Expected practical outcome
Map every key seat before assessing any one of them in depth. Rate bench strength honestly against evidence, not against who'd probably manage. Build a real development plan for each identified successor, and test them with genuine stretch opportunities before the day they're actually needed.
