Succession Readiness
Score Calculator

Paste or upload both job descriptions and the tool analyses the capability gaps between the current and target role — surfacing exactly what the candidate needs to develop to be ready for succession.

Job Description Gap Analysis

How readiness timelines are determined A weighted score across four dimensions — Track Record, Learning Agility, Leadership Readiness, and Skills Gap vs Target Role — determines the readiness tier. Timelines assume a structured Individual Development Plan is actively in place. Without deliberate stretch assignments and coaching, a “Ready in 1-2 Years” candidate may take significantly longer.

Ready Now
80+/100
No skill gaps below role requirement. Can be nominated in the current talent review.
Ready in 1-2 Years
65-79/100
Targeted development required. A structured IDP with clear milestones and regular reassessment is essential.
Ready in 2-3 Years
45-64/100
Multiple gaps to close. Worth investing in — but needs a Ready Now candidate to cover near-term risk.
Not Yet Ready
Below 45
Significant gaps across multiple dimensions. Not a current succession candidate — revisit in 18-24 months.

  Timelines are indicative, not guaranteed. They assume an active Individual Development Plan is in place. Scores reflect observed evidence and assessor judgement — not a substitute for a formal assessment process.
