Succession planning isn't just about preparing for the next person in line; it's about shaping the future of your tax department. The stakes are high, but effective stakeholder engagement is the game-changer. Engaging key players — CFOs, HR, corporate cross-functional tax leaders, and even external auditors — adds layers of insight that can unlock surprising opportunities. But beware, unexpected preferences and hidden priorities can emerge from these conversations, making the decision far from straightforward. Timing is crucial. Delaying the transition could cost your organization dearly in both time and talent. The key to a seamless transition lies in understanding your internal talent, aligning stakeholders early, and remaining open to strategy-shifting surprises. Choosing between an internal rising star or an external game-changer could shape your company's tax strategy for years. Some forward-thinking organizations are quietly 'talent mapping' the market, even with promising internal candidates. In today's competitive landscape, the next great tax leader might emerge from unforeseen places. As companies navigate this complex transition, they're discovering that succession planning is not just about filling a position – it's about ensuring the continued growth and success of the entire organization: https://bit.ly/3Yt7uyE. #SuccessionPlanning #TalentManagement
