Another benefit we see from succession planning we spoke about in module 6, is the ability to identify individuals’ job duties and skills that may be shared across a department or unit. As many discover during a crisis, and especially evident at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, determining who is essential and must come to work and who is not, is of utmost importance. Making these determinations is often done quickly and without much forethought when an emergency strikes. Organizations can benefit from preparing not only plans for their employees to go remote, but a systematic way to determine which employees are essential and must be at the organization in person to perform their duties.
Part 1: Create Your Own Branching Scenario
You have completed three branching scenarios in this course. Now it is time to create your own! Using the template provided below, which is similar to the scenario in Module 5, create a branching scenario decision tree to determine who is an essential worker in an organization. You may choose your own organization or one you have an interest in. Your work should end with a decision: essential or not.
Once you have created your branching scenario, post it to the discussion board, with a brief description of the type of organization it was created for.

Part 2: Work Through and Respond to Two Peers’ Scenarios
