Companies with integrated talent management processes have significantly less turnover and have 26% higher revenue per employee than companies without a talent management process.

We work with organisations to understand their core future requirements of their critical employees, in other words the behaviours, skills and values required for success. This Blueprint of Behaviours, Expertise, Strengths and Tenets (or BEST Tags) is created at the start of the journey through critical stakeholder interviews and focus groups. The Blueprint defines how the individuals need to interact, what they need to know and understand, and how they need to treat each other in order to succeed. The Blueprint becomes the starting point for objective talent assessment and development projects and activities.

"I was never content with mediocrity. I’m not about running from failure, even when I got it wrong. I did not compete with others to win, I competed to be the best I could be" - Mark Foster, Olympian, Swimming.

The Situation Analysis exercises consist of a series of timed business case study exercises. Individuals are presented with information relating to a fictitious company and asked to assimilate the data, respond to commercial questions and make recommendations. The response is used to assess how the individual is likely to perform and respond when faced with similar business challenges. The exercises are designed at four levels: Individual Contributor, Manager, Leader and Executive where the Business Scenarios become increasingly challenging and complex. Three parallel exercises have been designed for each level and will be randomly selected to reduce the risk of individuals sharing case studies before the assessment event.
