What’s the best succession planning software?
The short answer
The best succession planning software maps critical roles, assesses talent (9-box), identifies successors and their readiness, and flags where you have no bench. The right fit turns succession from an annual spreadsheet into a living plan connected to real performance and skills data — how Praxie’s succession software works.
What to look for
- Critical-role mapping — identify the positions that carry real risk.
- 9-box talent assessment — performance vs. potential, consistently applied.
- Successor & readiness tracking — who’s next and how ready they are.
- Risk flags — roles with no viable successor surfaced early.
- Connected to skills & development — plans that drive real growth.
