THR85 – SAP SuccessFactors Succession Management Academy

THR85 – SAP SuccessFactors Succession Management Academy develops the practical capability to configure succession data models, talent pools, nominations, position cards, talent searches, matrices, permissions, and development actions. The course connects SAP concepts with controlled execution, evidence-based decisions, and responsibilities that can be reviewed after implementation.

Applied work follows a leadership team building transparent succession coverage for critical roles while protecting sensitive talent assessments and improving readiness actions. Learners create succession foundation and position-readiness workbook, successor nomination and talent-pool evidence pack, talent-review and development action register, succession security and governance handover plan. Scenario testing addresses realistic conditions including a critical position is excluded because its organizational data does not meet a configured filter; a nominee appears in a restricted talent pool outside the manager’s permission scope; a readiness change is saved without the supporting review decision; a report exposes succession ratings to a role that should only view position coverage.

By completion, participants can apply the relevant SAP processes and configuration, explain observed results, correct supported exceptions, and hand over monitored controls that sustain secure succession and talent planning.
