Team Succession & Mobility Planning

Open up new career mobility for you & your team - with discovery-led succession planning. So your people can confidently stay and grow with you.

Navigating people for internal promotion, is really hard for managers.
Most managers avoid it as it feels risky without a good process.  We de-risk it.
By providing Managers and their Teams a way to build internal mobility plans, revealing realistic options for career progression and future succession planning.  

A Proven Method for Career Planning

Benefit from a world-leading, proven method for supporting employees to develop future plans for their career, designed by an experienced C-Level Leader & Careers Strategist.  Take away the anxiety & in-consistency of career conversations - Actvo can facilitate it for you and all your team, ensuring everyone gets included.

Discover New Ways to Enable Employee Development

Reveal the options most suited to your team to grow.  We auto-match each person's capabilities to one of twelve ‘working pathways’, showing you options that will make it easier for you to plan & enable mobility and progression. Creating dialogue between you and your team about their real needs. Locking in key staff - and reducing churn, becomes easier.

Jobs or Projects Matched to Skills & Experience

We de-risk the progression of people into new roles, by using our AI-matching algorithm to show you how exactly their skills & experience fit future opportunities. We can match real jobs, hypothetical - or in planning phases. Enabling you to plan accurately & set expectations for progression. Our AI-algorithm also suggests & matches 'future-of-work' jobs augmented by AI, that will be needed in your industry to remain competitive.

Upskilling & Reskilling Learning Plans

Getting ready to progress people usually requires some upskilling.  Creating Learning & Development plans for large teams is hard though, without the right access to resources that suit their diverse learning styles.  We source & match your teams learning needs to the resources they are most suited to, so you only pay for what they need and use. Taking away the pain of having to plan this 1-1 for each team member.

Behavioural Data & Insights to inform Future Succession Plans

Our platform generates a lot of data on your team and their future career needs.  We provide detailed insight reporting on cultural & behavioural insights, so you can ensure your environment is designed to enable retention and progression. And receive any risk signals, early.
