Succession Planning Program

We recognise that there will be a need to recruit people to executive positions in the next 5 years. We have developed a program that aims to:

  • identify people with executive potential

  • establish a talent Pool of key individuals

  • provide them with development opportunities to compete for executive roles.

OSR will benefit from the increased executive capacity within the organisation. Individuals in the program will benefit from a range of development opportunities.

The initial program will be launched in 2008. The focus will be on roles at Directorate level and immediately below, with a view that the program may be rolled out to other grades levels (in future years) after the first program.

Following a rigorous selection process (including an application competency questionnaire, 360 surveys and assessment centre activities), selected Pool candidates will develop a Career Development Plan that could include a secondment to another NSW Public Sector department, a job rotation, an executive development program or a range of sponsorships to high-profile projects.
