Why: Leave with greater confidence in how to assess future leadership readiness – and a practical approach to building depth across critical roles before risk becomes reality

Who: Ashleigh Fowler, Principal Business Psychologist at Peoplewise

Most organisations believe they are succession-ready

They have talent reviews. They have high-potential lists. They have successors identified.

Yet only 35% of organisations have a formal succession plan – and 82% admit they don’t have high-potential leaders ready to step into critical roles.

So what would happen in your organisation if a key leader resigned tomorrow?

As business complexity accelerates, the leadership capabilities required for future success are shifting. Performance alone is an unreliable predictor of enterprise readiness – and betting on a single “ready now” successor creates hidden risk.

In this practical and insight-led session, Ashleigh Fowler, Principal Business Psychologist at Peoplewise, explores why traditional succession planning often reproduces yesterday’s leadership – and what it takes to build a pipeline aligned to future enterprise complexity.

On this webinar you will gain insight into:

• The difference between high performance and future potential

• The psychological capabilities that predict enterprise leadership success

• The most common succession mistakes — and how to avoid them

• How to benchmark your pipeline against a structured maturity framework

• How behavioural insight and analytics reduce bias and increase confidence

Drawing on Peoplewise’s Perspectives framework, this session offers a practical, evidence-led approach to identifying and preparing the leaders your organisation will truly need.

If you are responsible for executive succession, leadership development, or talent strategy, this session will help you answer a critical question:

Is your pipeline preparing leaders for the future – or quietly preserving the past?

We look forward to seeing you!
