INCLUSIVE SUCCESSION PLANNING
Creating diverse leadership pipelines is a challenge for many organizations because succession management procedures are prone to bias. To address this issue, Kendall & Kendrick incorporates inclusion-based, tactical interventions into its succession planning procedure. These interventions fight bias and expand the talent pool.
By educating executives about unconscious bias, separating the position of the successor from the incumbent, and using accountability to boost inclusion, Kendall & Kendrick integrate diversity, equity, and inclusion into its succession management process to create a pipeline of diverse leaders.
​
The Kendall & Kendrick Succession Planning Framework is designed to eliminate the two most common factors contributing to a lack of diversity in identifying potential leaders (social capital and bias). The process associated with the framework identifies potential social capital and the decisions that can lead to overlooking highly qualified employees.
The Kendall & Kendrick Succession Planning Framework includes eight comprehensive methods used to create, execute, evaluate, and monitor the program's effectiveness long-term.

GLOBAL DISC ASSESSMENT
Global DISC assessments are a vital tool at Kendall & Kendrick for assisting our clients in developing more productive working relationships.
Global DISC is an International Coaching Federation (ICF)-accredited, multi-award-winning assessment and coaching solution that uses individual and group mentality to unleash the potential within and between individuals. Personal preferences are measured using Global DISC, based on cultural orientation and personality type.
This assessment uses the terminology of the most extensively used behavioral model, Dominance, Influence, Steadiness and Conscientiousness (DISC), to present the idea of cultural intelligence (ICQ). It explains what, how, and why people think and act in such disparate ways and how to harness their diversity to create synergy.​ Global DISC will assist you in determining where you need to "bridge the gap" to achieve successful business outcomes, whether you are working locally or worldwide. It is an excellent resource for global leaders, multi-cultural teams, and anyone who works with people from other countries or cultures.
