Executive Search
Any executive level strengthening of an organisation constitutes a possibility to develop the business, often under market conditions which frequently change and create a need for innovation in the boardroom.
Our experience taught us that marginal differences often are what make the difference.
Our accuracy is extremely high. We believe that this is partly due to our approach as management consultants where insight in business, organisational and management issues are naturally integrated in our hiring processes.
Our processes are thoroughly tested and our consultants are among the most qualified and experienced consultants in the field.
Our high accuracy means that we can offer the best employment guarantee on the market to our clients.
Coaching
When the success criteria are changing, the manager is the one to develop the fastest. Time becomes a critical factor and it might be relevant to focus and accelerate the manager’s development.
Our program one-to-one Manager Development is based on the performance improvement the manager is to achieve and the business critical tasks to be solved while the manager is developing.
We create a quite unique Return-on-Investment for our clients, simply because the managers’ development is being accelerated and strengthened while they maintain their primary tasks on the job.
We raise the bar for the manager’s performance and add focus on those business critical and personal factors which are to secure the necessary “breakthrough” for the manager. Results are created on the job – not in the classroom.
We coach the manager with focus on the manager’s critical management skills – the ability to set the course, execute, create successful cooperation relations and free energy within the organisation.
One-to-one manager development is a process of typically 4-6 months with coaching meetings every two to three weeks. The manager’s immediate manager will be involved in the start-up and in the end.
One-to-one Manager Development is also an integrated part of our Manager Development programmes which typically involve the executive board or management team.
Assessment
Personality assessments are primarily relevant when you as the client have completed the first part of the recruitment process and wish to strengthen the basis for your decision regarding the final candidates. It is also relevant if you would like an assessment of an unsolicited applicant or of an internal candidate, for example for the purpose of a career boost.
A personal assessment is rooted in a job profile and a briefing from our client. Based on the job profile, we test the candidate’s personality and IQ, conduct in-depth interviews with the candidate and take the 3-5 most important references. Then we make a written and an oral report and compare it with the job profile.
Management Development
Development of managers’ performance should always find its basis in the business. In which areas do we seek to create better results? What will it take from our management team and our managers – something that they do not deliver today? Management development can focus on both the management team as well as on the individual managers.
We facilitate Manager Development programs which typically run over a period of 6-12 months and which involve a full management team. The programs create extraordinary results for our clients. Return on Investment will typically give the company its money 5-10 times but may be higher.
Through the years, we have been coaches and sparring partners to hundreds of managers on all management levels – typically in processes of 4-6 months. The goal is to develop managers who learn quickly and solve complex challenges in their jobs simultaneously.
We experience that managers develop faster “in action” and “on the job” compared to the learning that they can achieve in education programs and courses and which they subsequently have to apply to their own lives. By linking business development and manager development, we create unique business results for our clients with focus on the company’s top and bottom lines.
