No two transition programmes are ever the same. Each of our clients deserves a tailored solution to improve the performance of their teams. Effective collaboration is always the destination, but the road towards it is always unique. Our strength is being able to adjust quickly and flexibly. For our client in the super yacht industry we developed a unique programme of competency training and Development Centers for result-oriented collaboration, while the solution for a school board lay in targeted development assessments. We are able to quickly and effectively choose our tools and our finest professionals for the sake of your organization.
Tailor-made training
One of the divisions of our client in the super yacht industry had its own specific development issue in relation to the company’s transition process. In order to improve internal processes we developed three training modules for employees and managers. The theme of module 1 was ‘giving and receiving feedback’. Module 2 was about the competency ‘collaboration’ and module 3 about ‘ownership’. All three modules focused mainly on concrete, result-oriented behaviour linked to the primary (customer) process, so that employees could get a clear understanding of what is expected from them. Managers were given additional tools to optimize the processes that fall within their responsibility. Among the key topics that were highlighted during the training were process architecture and process optimization. In a transition that is still ongoing, these were a few very important steps. At the same time, improvements were implemented that greatly shortened the improvement process.
In a successful organization, clear job profiles with precisely formulated objectives and competencies, translated into concrete results and desired behaviour, are an integral part of professional performance management. Together with this same client’s HR manager we developed a set of transition competencies.
Targeted assessments
In order to fill various vacant positions, the board of a secondary school wanted to quickly and efficiently identify the right talent among its vice principals and department heads. We were able to respond swiftly and within two weeks develop competency-driven job profiles and a development assessment to identify the competencies, talents and growth potential of the individuals in question. The result: a tailor-made solution for the department heads, vice principals and the school board, complete with valuable reports and tips for development. In addition to helping candidates find their optimal development path, the assessment enabled the board to match talent and the outstanding vacancies.
