The contingency inventory is essential to the transfer of key knowledge in your organization.

It’s a document that is updated regularly with critical information and made available to anyone at the senior leadership level.

It provides a reference document for a variety of critical positions and ensures that important information is transmitted to employees who move into new positions through succession management processes.

This information may also be required for a variety of other reasons, including unexpected employee departures.

Use this tool to improve your organization's institutional memory and to transfer organizational knowledge.

90-Day Leadership Action Plan

Resource Provided By Vantage Point

A 90-Day Leadership Action Plan has three components. The first step is developmental and happens before you begin executing your plan. You begin by articulating a leadership goal; then, you will break your larger goal down into concrete steps and resources; after that, you will identify 30-day and 90-day milestone markers for success.

The second step happens after the first 30-day milestone. At this point, you will review your progress, noting where you have been most successful and adjust your plan, if necessary.

And in the last step, after your 90-day action plan is complete, you’ll do a final evaluation, identifying where you have grown, what you have learned and how you might continue to grow.
