I can't say I've seen it used for years. The concept is that certain people in the company are essential for the continuation of the company. If one of these people dies, the company would severely suffer or collapse. I would analyze your company and determine what the effect would be if one of your "key" people weren't there. Although I'm not sure it pays out if one of those people merely leave on their own!
