Succession

Critical Role Backfill Planning

Scenario models estimate backfill options and interim coverage plans.

PilotEvidence: Weak

The problem

Unexpected departures in critical roles create operational disruption.

The opportunity

Less time on lookup. A person still owns anything that affects someone's job.

What the solution does

Scenario models estimate backfill options and interim coverage plans.

Stale data, inherited bias, and privacy rules. Name a human who is accountable for career-affecting answers.

What implementation requires

Start with one process. Agree how you will score it. Involve legal and HR before you scale. Track whether people use it, not only whether the model is accurate.
