Management Development for Career Planning in a Flat but Sectored Economy

Abstract

The traditional approach to management development — based on identification of talent and a planned career structure — will have to adjust to shrinking job and promotion opportunities. But organisations still need to plan for management succession. Four approaches are suggested, including early retirement into consultancy roles which would unblock career paths and, most radically, experiments with new forms of work relationship.
