Succession planning

Succession planning

Succession planning is about being future-ready. Organisations with a focus on minimising disruption know the importance of securing a robust talent pipeline by proactively identifying, assessing and engaging future leaders.

Six Degrees draw on strong networks of talent, rigorous search methodology and an in-depth assessment of both internal and external talent to ensure clients have the right talent in place at the right time, to meet the changing needs of an organisation. 

Six Degrees also provides career transition and outplacement services for organisations to help employees after job loss, following the end of contracts, redundancy, restructuring, or termination. 

Talent Mapping

Talent Mapping

Often used by HR specialists and Boards, talent mapping provides a strategic tool that can be used to plan for long-term talent acquisition by gaining a comprehensive view of the current talent landscape.

Six Degrees use in-depth market intelligence and organisational research to compile a confidential analysis of talent pools to identify suitable executive-level talent that matches your organisation’s unique objectives. We conduct a detailed briefing process, which includes a deep dive into your business objectives, short-term requirements, and long-term talent strategy. Clients receive a comprehensive report that reduces search time, saves money and mitigates risk.
