Assessing potential & management capability
In many organisations, determining what potential or talent you have is a difficult issue, often based around initial views about people and their performance. Often people possess good technical, functional or commercial skills, but in more senior roles there are complexities to deal with, people to be influenced and a need to understand the wider impact of decisions made.
We work closely with you to provide clear processes such as succession planning approaches through to helping identify talent through behavioural assessment, development centre design with skill inputs, through to coaching of potential people to build their confidence in dealing with ambiguity and handling different situations, whether at management or non management levels Throughout we build measures of success with you.
Here is an example of a succession planning approach we could develop with you.
Leadership, management development & coaching
Born to be a leader? Good at managing others? Managing a major project? Just become a manager? Aspiring to be a manager? Having to manage others not under my control? Having to manage across complex issues? Exert too much control? Want to do a 360 degree feedback on myself as a leader or manager? Want to be more inspirational to my team? Want to be coached to be more effective as a manager?
Phew, there are a lot of circumstances of needing to develop the skills of being an effective leader or manager!
Need to talk through what your needs are......... we can help you determine your needs and develop a clear approach such as undertaking a coaching session, a training programme, undertake some ‘live’ 360 degree feedback with you and your team, or colleagues (even if they don’t report to you), assess your leadership capability, undertake Myers Briggs assessment of your leadership team. Throughout we build measures of success with you.
By the way, there really is not any difference between leadership and management, when it comes to the reality of working with others, but we will help you differentiate and help you based on your needs.
Managing organisational change & team development
You may or may not have ever come across the change curve?
Working through changes in any organisation is usually complex both in terms of the approach, the needs and the impact you are trying to achieve. Often those at the start of change have not thought about the outcome, others get bogged down with one change and then like London buses more come along, impacting on the previous changes!
In and amongst all the changes there are significant people based issues that need considering and thinking through. What do we say, when do we say it and how honest and open should we be? Often skills change, how do we handle any training and development, what team development needs are there and so forth?
We can help you think through what you want to achieve, what impact any changes will have on people, what training and development they might need, and what your needs and those of teams are – we have plenty of experience of implementing some major and small change projects in different organisations!
Throughout we build measures of success with you.
High performance management & competency design
Whether you need to refresh the performance management approach or design and implement a new one, we can support your needs and help you think through your aims. We have experience of helping build objectives at organisational/business, functional and individual levels, getting the best out of the appraisal discussion or building and redeveloping competency frameworks and linking all of these into reward mechanisms.
We can also help you build performance management much more into the way you do things around your organisation, with performance management imbedded into your organisations’ processes throughout the year and not just on an annual or biannual event. Throughout we build measures of success with you.
Here is an example of a competency recently developed for a client company:
