Succession planning.  It can be a topic filled with drama.  Or not.  In this episode of the Repivot Project, Rich Weissman makes the case that all businesses, whether public or privately-held, small or large, have to be thinking about succession planning as a way of making a path for your talent.  "Figuring out your talent pathways is a way to figure out the gaps and strengths in your organization", Rich states.  A seasoned executive with a deep expertise in supply chain management, Rich saw, early on, the connection to a strong supply chain and good succession planning.  Having worked for Fortune 500 companies, startups and having owned his own consulting practice, Rich has helped owners/managers look at their organizations with an honest assessment of what is needed...and, just as importantly, what is not.
