CapraTek: Succession Planning

Overview

There are thousands of founder-based organizations in the private and not-for-profit sectors in the United States, and these organizations have been built over decades of hard work and long-term commitment. However, stubbornly holding on to business conditions that were present during an organization’s origination and first decades can threaten the organization’s future. Successful change is always the product of extensive knowledge, experience, and expertise. You are a new HR professional hired to replace a long-tenured HR director who has now been tasked with creating an organizational succession plan.

By successfully completing this assignment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assignment criteria:

• Analyze components of human capital models that align to human resource management strategy.
• Evaluate how a strategic human resource perspective drives organizational success.
• Examine how internal and external economic and demographic shifts change how human resource strategies respond to those changing conditions.
• Communicate professionally with all stakeholders.

• Assess substantive challenges to the HR professional in terms of people and systems as described for CapraTek, and interpret their effects.

Your presentation should be written coherently to support a central idea, in appropriate APA format, with correct grammar, usage, and mechanics as expected of a business professional.
