1. Develop criteria for the position in alignment with NESR’s business strategy;
2. Use a formal assessment process to evaluate internal and external candidates;
3. Identify and develop internal candidates for the position;
4. Develop and maintain emergency succession plans; and
5. Develop non-emergency succession plans, and endeavor to ensure they are in place at least two years before an expected transition.
