Part of TEMS™ · for organisations
Who will lead us next?
The Succession Readiness Index™ reads a leader's readiness for a named target role across 6 dimensions and 36 statements. Raters are Self, Line Manager, 3 to 5 Senior Peers and a Sponsor.
- 6 dimensions
- 36 statements
- Current and target role
- 4 readiness bands
Sample reports are illustrative and use fictional people and organisations.
Four readiness bands
- Ready Now4.6–5.0
- Ready in 12–24 months3.6–4.5
- Ready in 3+ years2.6–3.5
- Not Ready1.0–2.5
Scores are rounded to one decimal place, then placed in a band.
THE DIMENSIONS
Six dimensions of succession readiness
Every rating is calibrated against the named target role, not the leader's current job.
- SI
Strategic Intent
A clear, evidence-based view of where the target role must go.
- BI
Business Impact
A record of measurable outcomes the leader can be credited with.
- OI
Organisational Influence
Moving the organisation through others, including those they don't manage.
- JD
Judgement
Sound decisions under pressure, ambiguity and competing interests.
- LV
Learning Velocity
Absorbing new domains and updating views from evidence.
- LB
Legacy Behaviour
Building capability that outlasts the leader's own presence.
HOW IT WORKS
Three steps, nothing hidden
- 1
Name both roles
The leader's current role and target role are recorded. SRI™ needs both.
- 2
Consent, then the panel
The leader consents first. Then Self, Line Manager, 3 to 5 Senior Peers and a Sponsor rate.
- 3
No surprises
The leader hears the reading first, with time for questions, before any report is issued.
SRI™ is one of three TEMS™ indices. With the other two, it builds your Entity Capability Index. No single index is the whole picture.
