With a view to succession planning, we were commissioned to design and facilitate a rigorous, objective assessment and development center process to give the board a clear sense of the bench-strength of the current talent pool. Specifically the project aimed to:
We worked with Rydon to understand their business context including market, strategy, culture and leadership role requirements. This provided the background of how LIVED would be applied for maximum success and allowed us to determine the right benchmark.
We liaised directly with participants to ensure they are suitably prepared for the process, arranging for them to complete the online psychometric assessments.
The assessment day began with a two-and-a-half-hour deep dive interview which explored the participants’ career history, aspirations and motivations, and determined their strengths and development needs. During this session, managers gained a full understanding of their psychometric profiles. In the afternoon they participated in a two-and-a-half-hour business simulation /presentation exercise, conducted face-to-face.
Upon completion of the assessment day our Consultant Psychologist created a comprehensive LIVED leadership assessment and development report. This was then shared with participants during a 1-1 coaching feedback session for development purposes and followed up with 1-1 conversations with an HR business partner and the group MD.
