Rather than a succession planning ‘list’ of individuals which many organizations create to advance careers and fill senior level roles, our opportunities aim to be holistic and inclusive; ensuring equal and equitable opportunity for all.

Succession Planning

Identify, Foster, Share

  • Linear and prescriptive​

  • Includes the “chosen few”​

  • Doesn’t fit well in the academic context​

  • Limited in scope and ability to build potential​

  • Limited types and opportunities for development​

  • Broad and holistic​

  • Includes everyone​

  • More resonant with ideals of higher education​

  • Builds knowledge, shares opportunities, and considers collective success​

  •  Experiential, social and formal development​


Identifying Talent is a Two-Way street

  1. ​We want to ensure that people who are interested in being identified for new opportunities, whether formal roles, experiential learning or development opportunities have a place and forum to put their names forward
  2. We want to ensure that managers and those in senior leadership roles understand their opportunity in ‘Opening Doors’ for others and their ability to assist them in co-creating pathways forward
