ABOUT KATE JOHNSON

Kate Johnson is the owner of onetwentythree ltd, a consultancy dedicated to developing leaders who can think clearly, act intentionally, and lead with credibility, even when conditions are imperfect and pressure is high. She specializes in building leadership pipelines, strengthening succession readiness, and aligning development with real operational demands. Through clear expectations, reflective practice, and practical tools, Kate helps leaders grow into steady, trustworthy stewards of their teams and organizations — not by pretending to be flawless, but by learning how to work honestly with their limits, mistakes, and uncertainty.

Think like a Bee:
A New Perspective for
Talent and Succession Planning 

KATE JOHNSON | Owner, onetwentythree ltd

Companies that treat succession planning as an annual event stagnate. Talent development professionals can help leaders remember that organizations are living systems that require ongoing tending, rather than periodic review. We do not need static grids or nine boxes to create success. We need a dynamic, productive process that will support the health of the whole workforce. And we can look to a surprising source for inspiration: A beehive.

When we think like bees do, we can discover practices that will smoothly connect organizational needs to individual capacity, integrate learning with succession planning systems, and shift the conversation from replacement planning to capability development.

Attendees will encounter more than theory about alternative succession planning methods. They will apply Bloom’s Taxonomy as a development planning framework and analyze a real role from their own organizations, leaving with a draft development path.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

  • Discover an alternative to traditional succession planning methods that emphasizes cultivating capability rather than single-role replacements
  • Adapt an existing learning and development framework to support broader talent planning and internal capability growth
  • Chart a practical development path to support internal development and growth for a key role in their organization
