We offer organizations a broad range of objective people assessments , using assessment centers as part of candidate selection or employee development processes gives a broader, more complete view of the candidates' skills and behaviors and ensures that the best people for the job or role are selected or developed.

We can help design and deliver assessment centers throughout your organization, especially at senior management and graduate levels. We work in partnership with our clients, offering a blend of customized design and development, alongside the use of off-the-shelf proven tools and questionnaires . Typically an assessment centre will use our personality questionnaires, ability tests and assessment centre exercises all of which are available for a range of candidate ability and job roles with valid, suitable content.

We also support clients in their decision to either use us as independent external assessors, or as trainers, transferring knowledge to teams and encouraging self-sufficiency.

Many recruitment or development projects or assignments take place in a vacuum; a role needs to be filled or a new process implemented and, once in place, no assessment of value or success is carried out. HR professionals need to demonstrate the value that such assignments bring to the business and introduce a way of measuring the impact of selection or development interventions.
How we add value to your HR processes.

• We can help in the design of projects at the outset, encouraging you to collect the most valuable information and then looking at the data with you to see the benefit it has brought. We can help develop measures specifically to measure the return on investment (ROI) for your business.
• We can share our information and knowledge about the latest thinking and use of practice, tools, techniques and systems to make sure you have the full picture.

We can help you with some of the more fundamental objective assessment tasks such as in-company norms, benchmarking across industry, validation, and organizational analysis. Or you may need an entirely new assessment or analysis report developed specifically for you. This can mean anything from your logo being inserted onto the screen or page of a standard assessment through to developing a new interpretive report from one of our questionnaires.

As organizations change and develop new strategies and visions, particularly following a merger or acquisition, so do the job competencies and skills needed to execute them.

In these scenarios, poorly defined jobs or roles lead to a diffusion of responsibility and accountability, and an overlap between jobs. At the same time, Organizational Development initiatives started by the Board and implemented by HR may not result in the changes of behavior required to sustain improvements.

We can help you to :

• analyze roles in concrete terms e.g. tasks, objectives, KPIs
• define the skills and competencies needed for success in a role
• structure roles into meaningful job families
• transfer knowledge to HR teams enabling self-sufficiency in competency design
• develop organization-wide competency frameworks
• bring competencies to life by linking to a range of HR processes
• redesign HR processes to integrate new competencies

The Competency Framework is a simple, easy-to-use system that helps you identify and map out the key areas of competence. And our range of well-researched and tested generic models.

Leadership programs

Truly effective leadership stems from an individual’s insight and understanding of themselves, and how their behaviors can have a profound impact on the relationships and performance of those around them. True leaders are able to mobilize their own talents and energies, while inspiring others. This dynamic combination creates success in a changing business world.

The development of leadership talent is crucial for any organization that aims to retain and promote its high potential managers. Leadership development encourages people to reorient the ways in which they interact to achieve more fulfilling and productive working relationships. Individuals develop greater awareness of their own accountabilities in line with business goals and become more confident in their decision making.

Leadership development is a lifelong learning process. It can be challenging and confronting, but helps create breakthroughs for you and your organization. Our leadership programs address key issues such as emotional intelligence, managing work-life balance, creating vision and inspiration, and transforming the total organization. We work with managers at all career stages to build their leadership capabilities and their motivational, management, influencing and negotiating skills.
