Essentially the work Consulting carries out is designed to significantly improve business effectiveness and clearly improve business performance.

Some examples of our services in Consulting are shown below but share the challenge you have with us and if we can’t help we will tell you.

INTERIM SUPPORT

Increasingly businesses are realising that hiring a short term resource to replace a key person can be a smart way to continue business momentum and the list of possibilities where an interim might be right are endless but a few examples are:

      -  Filling a business critical vacancy whilst a permanent search is undertaken.

      -  Providing leadership when the business has lost the captain.

      -  Providing a neutral catalyst for change when two organisations merge.

      -  Starting an enterprise that can be managed by a less senior person later.

 

team development

Using “Insights Discovery” to understand each other better, will support understanding of style, strengths, and an individual's value to the team and aid team collaboration and engagement.

          - The challenges of leading a team/running a business

LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT

Using an experienced business psychologist, with significant experience in leadership and organisational development can yield excep  tional results for an individual’s personal improvement and business performance. Using someone with a demonstrable track record of success in the delivery of relevant talent and leadership solutions gives psychological safety and trust and applies at all levels of the business from graduates to director level.

 

PROFESSIONAL PSYCHOMETRICS

Recruiting the right people into any organisation is challenging. Finding individuals who are both eligible and suitable for the role in question is often very time consuming. With senior hires, in particular, it is critical that any additions are a good fit with the established management team.

In essence, employers are looking for someone who gets it (understands the business drivers and culture) wants it (is enthused by the opportunity and possesses a good work ethic) and is capable of delivering it (i.e. has the intellectual bandwidth, experience and other credentials to deal with the day to day tasks associated with the role). Capability is about role eligibility. Wanting and getting it are about role suitability. This is often difficult to identify at interview. The more robust the selection process the greater the chance of making the right hire. It is here that psychometric profiling is able to play an integral part in your hiring process.

Psychometric tools can also be of benefit in raising self-awareness and across areas such as management development, onboarding and team building.
