Lead | Development centres

Development centres are invaluable in helping you:
• Benchmark your management population against your business’s competencies
• Plan your organisational development agenda in a more strategic way
• Predict how people will perform in other positions
• Identify high potential leaders
• Guide succession planning
• Prepare people for promotion
• Help people to improve current performance

We go to great lengths to ensure that the centres we design are intimately linked to the way your business works and the challenges you face.  We like it when people experience our centres then tell us “That’s just what it’s like here”, as it means we’ve done our job.  As well as simulated exercises, we use a combination of psychometrics, semi-structured interview, self evaluation and 360° feedback.  This provides us with an unparalleled insight into individuals – their strengths, where they could improve, their motivation, and their potential.

Where our expertise really pays off is in the in-depth feedback and coaching we provide.  Rather than simply tag this on to the end of the day, we allocate sufficient time, as participants tell us this is the piece they value most.  And we also hand-write crystal clear, straightforward reports which provide concise feedback and conclusions both for the individual and the business.

Research indicates the biggest problem with many development centres is that the report is the end of the process – people are left thinking, “Well that was good, but what next?”

We can help you leverage the maximum value from the process, and ensure that the development centre complements and informs your organisation development strategy.
