Organizations are in a constant flux. Optimally, a succession plan should have available, for every position, an alternative employee or function. However, in most companies, it has proven sufficient to keep an eye on all key positions and a pool of high potentials available for that inevitable moment of transition. But even then, high potentials need to be identified and developed. And key positions may be organized differently to lower the dependency on key performers.

They often use certain HR-Meter tools available to proactively manage their workforce and rapidly detect potential succession scenarios.
