Abstract
A system and method are provided for providing web-based succession planning process. Through a web-based interface, pre-defined talent criteria is utilized to define talent pools retrieved from a database. Each criteria can then in turn have a weight value and a threshold value assigned to it. A gap threshold percentage is assigned to the talent pool. Succession criteria are then assigned from a pre-defined succession criteria database list based upon characteristics of a group of employees being assessed. Candidates for the talent pool are then determined from the group of employees based upon the assessed talent criteria score relative to the gap threshold of the talent pool, and the succession criteria scores for each of the employees from an employee assessment database. The candidates for the talent pool can then be displayed in an html viewer based upon the assessment score and succession criteria scores.
