Breaking the Last Taboo in Talent Strategy: Succession Reimagined | NALES26 Workshop

Is your succession strategy fit for the future? In this session, researchers from the Center for Creative Leadership challenge outdated, opaque succession models and share a more human, adaptive approach to building leadership continuity at every level. In this provocative and research-driven workshop from the North American Learning Executive Summit (NALES), Marcia A. Dawkins, Ph.D., Senior Research Scientist, and Daniel J. Smith, Ph.D., Research Associate at the Center for Creative Leadership, invite organizations to rethink one of the most taboo topics in talent strategy: succession. For decades, succession planning has been treated as a zero-sum, behind-closed-doors exercise reserved for the C-suite. This session challenges that narrative — positioning succession as a system-wide risk and opportunity that plays out every day across the organization. Drawing on research and real-world insight, the speakers explore how modern succession strategies must account for culture, transparency, and the realities of today’s workforce — including the growing role of AI and the need for leaders who can navigate both human and technological complexity. Key themes include: Moving beyond secrecy and power dynamics to a more human, transparent succession mindset Addressing succession gaps beyond the C-suite to strengthen institutional resilience The critical role of wisdom transfer, collaboration, and generational endorsement How AI and technological literacy are reshaping what future leadership looks like Designing adaptive succession strategies that balance immediacy, continuity, and generativity About NALES: The North American Learning Executive Summit is a premier gathering of industry leaders, learning and development executives, and talent experts dedicated to exploring innovative strategies, emerging trends, and best practices in the evolving world of talent management and organizational development.
