Java and Jobs: Succession Planning

LinkedIn Live + In-Person Roundtable Experience

As manufacturing leaders, you are constantly balancing today’s demands with tomorrow’s vision, driving daily performance while planning for long-term continuity. One of the toughest challenges in that equation? Succession planning. How do you prepare the next generation to take the lead, keep operations running strong, and ensure future success?

That’s exactly what we’re tackling at Java & Jobs, a focused leadership session designed for operations leaders and business owners who know the future of their shop floor depends on smart talent strategy and real-world solutions.

What to Expect:

📺 Opening Session: LinkedIn Live (10 to 15 min)
We’ll begin with a high-level overview of why succession planning often misses the mark in manufacturing and what’s at stake when it does. You’ll hear key insights, eye-opening data, and thought-provoking questions designed to spark meaningful conversation and set the stage for deeper discussion.

🔒 Go Deeper: In-Person Roundtable (40 to 50 min)
Once the Live ends, the in-person work begins. We’ll shift off-camera into a peer-to-peer working session, exclusive to those attending in person. This roundtable is where we roll up our sleeves and get tactical, exploring:

• Real world succession planning challenges in manufacturing

• Applying the 9 box talent matrix on the shop floor

• Sample individual development plans (IDPs) and coaching templates

• Proven processes to build bench strength, reduce risk, and retain top performers

You don’t have to have the answers  just bring your questions, curiosity, and coffee.
