What we're looking for is something that's integrated with the business planning in departments, and that's sort of looking forward. Based on the demographics, based on what you know and the pattern of your people's movement, we would expect that hiring processes are put in place before you actually need the person. In our acting executive audit, we use as an example Statistics Canada. They never use acting positions. The reason they don't use acting positions is because they do a very good job of planning. They know what the turnover is, they do the pre-qualification, they know who their executive-ready people are, so when there's an opening they're screened, they're ready to go, and they're put in the job.
