Sonny,
I looked at the article and it seems to be a bunch of corporate gobble-de-guke, otherwise known as pigeon-holing.
The first sentence, "Succession management enables organizations to sustain long-term success through continuity and stability. A well-thought-out succession management initiative identifies and engages internal candidates... " is chock full of meaningless [abstract] sociological and psychological jargon. It sounds as if it were written by someone fresh out of college - hopefully not a university.
What exactly is "successation management"? Is it the line of succession? The whole thing is a string of ambiguous, multi-syllable words which mean nothing but look good in the bean-counter world. Perhaps this is why big corporations can't live up to the full potential.
Then they refer to a chart which is rather hard to read. Basically it is a 3 X 3 matrix of pigeon holes, or in their terms, a spreadsheet. Basically, instead of ranking the employees from best to worst, you plug them into the tic-tac-toe diagram (#) and go from there.
It would be remiss not to offer something constructive: Selecting an employee is like selecting a spouse. You aim for a good mesh but no one is perfect. That's why you get the mule jokes.
Hoping this is not quasi-ambiguous,
-Peter
