Independent multinational research proves how job and project based development programmes the most effective way to retain top talent whilst delivering improved business performance. Newgrange Consultants talent management expertise extends to incorporate the design and development of individual Management Development Plans and Professional Development Plans, which are further aligned to business goals and business performance
Our clients’ interests and needs include the support of key individuals who are being tested and developed for significant promotion, and the broader organisational goal of retaining and developing high potential employees.
Our specialist focus is in assessment, development and support of valued employees who may have the potential to achieve significant career transition promotions. Our research has shown that the challenges of certain senior roles are quite different to those of the career paths typically preceding such promotions. For example, Sales Director and Sales Management effectiveness are very different challenges to those of being a very successful Account Director. Chief Financial Officers have strategic planning, governance and Investor relations challenges that Finance Professionals may not have previously encountered. The greatest such transition is often the step from a senior leadership team role into the CEO’s chair.
Our Senior Executive Development and our High Potential Development models share a common framework, with tailoring to commercial and personal circumstances. We begin our development planning with a sophisticated assessment exercise, mapping career path and professional development achievements. We add psychometric assessment and competency profile to create the development base plate. We then work with both the individual and the organisation to structure a work based development plan with stretch goals based on business improvement projects. We add an experiential learning review framework, and measure outcomes against an overt development timetable.
Developing the talent you have within your business is one of the soundest investments you can make, with improved performance and increased retention.
Whilst on occasions such development is used for corrective action, the greatest payback in these investments invariably come from the development of capabilities, retention and improved performance of those in your team with emerging but as yet untapped or underdeveloped potential.
Our data driven Human Capital Audit model shows you how to identify those with the greatest talent, and to understand how they will drive their own careers. Your organisation will also include high performers, high potential individuals and secure assets. Investments in professional development for each group need certain common characteristics but also have subtle variations. We can show you how to manage expectations, focus your development time and budgets and maximise the return to the business.
