Serving Future Transportation Needs: Succession Planning for a State Department of Transportation Organization, Its People & Mission

This project examines the employment of people who accomplish the work of the Department of Transportation & Public Facilities (AKDOT&PF) – those who serve the future transportation needs of Alaska. The study focuses primarily on professional personnel within AKDOT&PF, but includes consideration of vital support personnel as well. The research is about getting and retaining a sufficient number of good people. The magnitude of “sufficient” changes with time. Therefore, the work considers plausible future events that may cause large changes in staffing requirements. The project report provides implementation recommendations that include the strategies, goals and tasks that AKDOT&PF can use to formulate an action plan to accomplish its mission in the future. The report targets a reading audience that includes AKDOT&PF Chief level managers and regional administrators, and Department of Administration personnel interested in successful long term development of AKDOT&PF’s human assets.
