Individual Assessment for Recruitment,
Promotion and Development
The ability to place and develop individuals to perform at their best is an important, on-going activity for any business. When done well, there is alignment, collaboration and effective team work to deliver enhanced commercial results.
We recognise that individuals are often hired or promoted for particular strengths. We also know that some effective managers and leaders are not masters of all general management competencies, but highly able on one or two (provided incapacity on another does not seriously detract from effectiveness). We also know that the composition of a team can be a turning point.
Our own "signature strength" is insightful assessments using advanced psychological techniques coupled with an understanding of business imperatives and our ability to appreciate and optimise the capabilities that make for outstanding business performance. This has been the basis of our success and reputation.
Executive and Leadership Development
Profiling top managements' entrepreneurial and ambassadorial talents
We will conduct an in-depth structured interview to explore an individual's achievements, performance and the characteristics that bring about success. The structure we adopt will evaluate the leadership capabilities and capacity required to deliver the superior results required by your business.
We will also use questionnaires to identify the underlying psychological persona and use this information to investigate and probe key areas during the assessment.
We find in-depth evaluations are critical at times of major change, such as re-organisation, mergers and management buy-outs. Where external capital is involved these evaluations optimise the chances of a successful investment.
Our executive report will summarise job-related strengths, development needs and limitations, provide a commentary, and benchmark against the market place and long term potential. The precise form of the report will be tailored to suit the client's needs.
An affirmative feedback session provides the opportunity to consider the report and provide the basis for advancement.
Management Assessment and Development
Identifying future managers and leaders
We will interview your talented individuals with an emerging capacity to move into critical managerial roles, and evaluate how well they match your organisation's demands. For those recognised managers at a more advanced stage in the leadership pipeline, we will assess their potential for executive and top management posts.
We will also use our Management Assessment and Development process to evaluate recruitment candidates, as well as for promotion and development.
The individual will complete a series of internet based questionnaires and will be interviewed in-depth. The psychometric results will inform the interview rather than lead our insights or shape our conclusions.
The interview itself will review career and be structured to examine the capabilities required for superior performance in vitally important management positions and/or those necessary in strategic, visionary and transformational top level, entrepreneurial and ambassadorial leadership posts.
Given the fact of widespread, even global, dispersion of those interviewed we will, as necessary, conduct the interviews by telephone, video-conferencing or Skype links.
We will produce a report examining the match with the competencies required for progression, development needs and limitations, comparative position in the market place, and likely long term potential.
For development, we will prepare an optimal report to engage the individual, suggest self-development actions and relevant actions or moves to realise ultimate potential.
