Business case · internal justification

Assess the solution by the decisions it improves—not by features alone.

MetierSA’s first requirement is a high-quality, defensible succession decision. The relevant comparison is between a focused programme that brings method, objective evidence and governance together, and the internal effort required to build and sustain those capabilities independently.

A DECISION FRAME, NOT A PRICE COMPARISON

What needs to be true for the programme to be valuable.

A credible succession practice depends on more than the talent map itself. The process must define future roles, create quality evidence, support a disciplined calibration discussion, and leave leadership with practical actions and a review rhythm.

01 — IN-HOUSE CAPABILITY

The capability requirement goes beyond an internal spreadsheet.

A credible programme requires role architecture, assessment expertise, evidence design, facilitated calibration, executive reporting, change support and clear ownership of the annual review process. Each discipline must work together for the outcome to be trusted.

02 — EVALUATION QUESTIONS

Questions to apply to any succession offer.

  • Does it improve potential and readiness evidence?
  • Does it define the future role—not only the current role?
  • Does it make role risk and bench strength visible?
  • Does it turn calibration into agreed actions?
  • Does it leave a workable review rhythm after delivery?
  • Can it expand when wider talent needs are confirmed?
03 — DECISION CRITERIA

Choose the option that creates a repeatable leadership decision.

The programme should be judged by whether it gives MetierSA a clear answer to the succession question, equips leadership to act on that answer and leaves behind a process that can be repeated with confidence.

The value case: the focused programme is designed to strengthen the quality, visibility and repeatability of MetierSA’s leadership succession decisions before wider investment is considered.
