Their work is grounded in deep technical expertise and a strong commitment to innovation and environmental responsibility.
Lloyd’s Register faced a critical leadership transition following the promotion one of their Senior Leaders to an Executive Leadership role. With six strong internal candidates vying for the strategic successor role, the organization was committed to a fair, transparent, and objective selection process.
Historically reliant on traditional interviews, Lloyd’s Register recognized these methods didn’t fully capture leadership potential or behavioral nuances vital for a role involving close collaboration with the executive team and shaping their own people strategy. They sought a more robust approach grounded in data and insight to objectively assess candidates’ behavioral strengths, emotional intelligence, cognitive abilities, and leadership capabilities.
Beyond selecting the right leader, the process aimed to provide transparent feedback and development opportunities, ensuring consistency and supporting the ongoing growth of all candidates.
We were looking for an organization that could provide robust psychometrics with consultancy expertise.
To provide a well-rounded, evidence-based view of each candidate, we used Talogy’s InView leadership assessment solution. This process offered the depth and clarity the organization needed, while creating a positive experience for every participant.
The solution included:
Performance was reviewed with the CPO, covering each candidate. All six candidates received personalized development feedback sessions, regardless of the selection outcome, reinforcing the organization’s commitment to growth and transparency.
This gave us a holistic view of each candidate, helping us make decisions based on real insight and objectivity. The personalized feedback sessions for all candidates were invaluable. It wasn’t just about selection; it was about supporting growth and development for everyone involved.
Talogy was selected for its ability to act with pace and flexibility while offering a depth of psychological insight through its comprehensive suite of assessments and experienced consultants. From the first interaction, Talogy demonstrated an understanding of the complexity of the situation and tailored a solution that was aligned with the expectations of a high-performing leadership team. Crucially, the collaborative partnership and the expertise of Talogy’s people stood out, bringing not only credibility and confidence to the process but also a shared commitment to achieving meaningful outcomes.
Talogy moved at speed, were flexible to our timescales, and offered a depth of expertise that gave us real confidence.
The process delivered real impact for both the leadership team and the individuals involved:
Encouraged by the success of this project, Lloyd’s Register is now looking to embed similar approaches into future talent decisions. They see clear value in using assessment and consultancy expertise not only to inform key promotions, but also to build leadership capability across the business.
Whether for succession planning, high-potential identification, or future hiring at the senior level, Talogy’s insight-led approach will continue to support Lloyd’s Register in making people decisions with confidence.
The combination of robust assessment tools and expert consultancy made a real difference. Talogy helped us see each candidate’s potential clearly, ensuring a fair and transparent process.
