Introducing Lattice Succession Planning

We’ve all been there. When a key leader leaves unexpectedly, organizations often find themselves rushing to fill the gap. Critical roles sit vacant, teams lose direction, and projects stall. But with the right preparation, transitions don’t have to disrupt momentum. 

That’s where Lattice Succession Planning comes in. 

Lattice’s newest product helps HR teams and business leaders identify critical roles, plan for potential turnover, and build strong internal pipelines that keep business moving forward. Powered by performance and calibration data, it brings structure, visibility, and collaboration to what’s often a fragmented, spreadsheet-driven process.

Lattice Succession Planning empowers organizations to:

• Spot potential risk areas by identifying single points of failure and high-impact roles.
• Use performance insights to support thoughtful, data-driven decisions about potential successors.
• Collaborate securely on successor readiness, development, and selection, all in one secure place.

Developing a bench of future leaders for your company’s most impactful roles requires more than endless email chains and spreadsheet tabs. Without a central, standardized process, even the most mature organizations end up with duplicate work, inconsistent practices, security risks, and governance gaps.

Thankfully, Lattice modernizes this oftentimes static, manual process into a connected, dynamic workflow.

Now, with the launch of Lattice Succession Planning, companies can rely on a living, data-driven system built to mitigate turnover risk and strengthen internal pipelines with:

• On-demand views of bench strength, tagged by attrition risk and readiness levels 
• Permissions that keep succession conversations private
• A modern, intuitive design built for HR leaders, not just Legal or IT
• One consolidated home for all talent processes, enabling HR to deliver more consistent, data-driven insights

‍

By formalizing this process, companies send a powerful message: being prepared for change — whether from attrition, restructures, or business changes — isn’t just good practice, it’s essential to building resilient, high-performing teams.

And that’s what real continuity looks like.
