A Succession Plan • Every company, business, and organisation needs to have a plan in place to ensure a smooth transition, for when someone leaves for whatever reason. • This plan will allow that organisation to flourish • The CCGA-P is no different
Where to Start • Identify areas within the station’s volunteers where significant loss of knowledge and skills will be or could be occurring in the near future. • Identify the “high value” knowledge and skills (coxswains, station leaders, training officers). • Based on the above criteria, initiate succession planning for those positions.
Identify Staff Levels and SKA’s • Which functions will remain unchanged? • What functions may be downsized or discontinued? Boating safety? • What functions may need to be expanded? Deputy Training Officers?
Identify Staff Levels and SKA’s • What functions, if any, will be consolidated? None? • Will the projected workload volume increase or decrease? Increase? • Will staff levels change? If so, how? Extra coxswain required?
Identify Staff Levels and SKA’s • What SKA’s are needed to perform the targeted job functions? • What extra training is required? RHIOT, Station Trainers Course, ARTE Course, SARnav Course?
Forecast Skills and Knowledge Gaps • List critical knowledge and skill gaps that exist or will exist due to retirements and potential turn-over.
Develop a Plan • Station management agrees to replacements • Approach possible replacements and sound them out • Develop a knowledge transfer plan, communicate, implement and monitor it • Evaluate the possible replacements progress and revise as necessary
Knowledge Transfer • The process of sharing knowledge between on person and another • If knowledge has not been absorbed, it has not been transferred
Types of Knowledge: Explicit • Structured – Data elements that are organized in a particular way for future retrieval; e.g., documents, databases, spreadsheets • Unstructured – Information not referenced for retrieval; e.g., emails, images, audio or video selections
Types of Knowledge : Tacit • Knowledge that people carry in their heads. • It is difficult to assess and access, as most people are not even aware of what they possess or how it is of value to others. • It provides context for ideas, experiences, people, and places and is not easily captured.
