Finding the Right Person for the Job at CNX Gas Corporation

Norchard Solutions | 08 Jul 2007

Making sure that the best person is appointed for a role is anything but easy. Faced with a pool of possible candidates all with different skills and varying levels of experience and future potential makes final selection a daunting task. It’s quite normal therefore for many managers to resort to gut instinct and guesswork when appointing staff.

Succession Planning is becoming a much more prominent issue for all organizations and with the move to flatter management structures it is now crucial that potential successors are identified early in order that disruption is minimized when key people leave the business.

UK software company Norchard Solutions specialize in succession planning software and their program, Succession Wizard, allows businesses to spot potentially critical gaps in their management and plan future staffing needs. They have just finalized an arrangement to supply Pittsburgh-based CNX Gas Corporation with Succession Wizard. CNX is an independent natural gas exploration, development, production and gathering company operating in the Appalachian Basin of the United States. Their production in 2006 was 56.1 billion cubic feet and they have a total equity market capitalization of $3.85 billion and have been identified by Business Week magazine as one of the top “Hot Growth” companies in the country.

Succession Wizard uses a powerful, yet user-friendly, interface making it simple to use and its intuitive approach allows organizations to easily spot potentially critical gaps in their management and thus plan future staffing needs before problems arise. Users can expect to be fully operational and producing effective succession plans within hours of implementing the solution, without any need for expensive consultants to configure the software or to purchase additional hardware, as the application is designed for standard desktop PC's.

Organizations generally have a wealth of talent already working in different positions and levels throughout their business. Director, Jon Lear, believes “this hidden resource should be tapped and identified as it is a key factor in effective succession planning”. Succession Wizard allows you to do this and understand what skills and resources you already have at your disposal. It can identify those people who, with support and training, can climb your management structure and potentially become its future leaders.
