Sorry for the delay in getting back to everyone.
It was a few years ago, I used this so sorry but I don't have any material I can send you.
Just to expand a bit the way I used it was to ask the question “What is succession planniing?”. There was a brief discussion and several mentioned the 9 box model. Google it.
Several had heard of the approach and a couple used it previously.
I then asked how that applied to the current England team (Fabio Capello had just been fired).

The group then started to apply the 9 box grid to the succession problem. What do we need and how do they rate? Performance? Experience? Availability?
Be careful as it’s quite easy to alienate those who don’t find football fun - and as some are quite passionate about the game - it can get quite heated!
My experience was that this led to a much better discussion and understanding than just theory.
if you Google 'England football managers and succession planning' it turns up some good links.
By the way, we also generated some interesting discussions around PEST related to this 'strategic decision'. Could also had used SWOT if more applicable - or had enough time.
Who was politically acceptable? English? Foreign manager?
Who could we afford? On what basis?
Who did the fans want? Who was available?

All useful!
Hope this helps.

Hi Nigel, That is very interesting - would you mind sharing more detail? We work heavily within the sports industries, and I am currently in the process of looking at the whole talent management and succession planning remit. I think that the approach you have used would fit really well with mindsets within our business and could be a good foundation for some of the discussions I need to facilitate. Kind regards, Nicola |

Providing you don't mind using sports as a vehicle... I did a piece around succession planning using England football team managers. Did they have the experience? Did they have potential? How were they doing at the moment? Were they ready? Did they need development? Were they a 'flight' risk? We're they 'in-house'? Could we attract from outside? Worked well. |
