Harnessing Talent Print

icecubetower.jpg

Your most expensive business asset is your people; and we believe they have limitless potential to contribute to the success of your organisation…if you tap into their talent!

What do you currently do to ensure that your talented people continue to thrive within the working environment? What would happen if your talent pool sprung a leak and started to drain away? What impact would this have on your success?

Research published by the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development in 2006 shows that 30% of employee turnover was due to lack of development and career opportunities.

 

How we help?
Working with talented individuals and teams we “audit” current talents and explore potential, establishing a benchmark before development begins. We then work with key stakeholders to create a bespoke programme which is tailored to meet the needs of each individual and uses coaching to encourage reflection, self discovery and embed learning.

We find that by providing opportunities for regular and structured progress reviews, individuals are able to recognise their progression and their new skills and knowledge are integrated into the workplace quickly for maximum return on investment. Our clients have found this approach to have massive benefits for both individual and the organisation.

 

Linking Skills Profile

This 360 feedback tool offers valuable insight into the factors and specific behaviours that influence success through a framework of competencies that can easily be incorporated into those that already exist in an organisation.

 

This is a superb tool which can be utilised in many differnt contexts. We have used it succesfully to assist clients to determine the development needs of senior team members. It provides structure and encourages the "subject" to focus on key causal behaviours, which ultimately means that the development solutions they choose have a greater and longer lasting impact on their performance.

Here are some examples of situations where the tool can be used effectively:

  • Benchmarking
  • Creativity
  • Decision making
  • Drive & commitment
  • Executive development
  • Learning organistion
  • Outplacement counselling
  • Planning & organisation
  • Sales & account management
  • Team performance

 

Myers Briggs Type Indicator ®

Have you ever wondered why it is that some people seem to be exactly on your wavelength and understand you, whilst others just don’t "get you"?

Do you like to have a plan and stick to it, whilst other colleagues change their focus and direction again and again, driving you to distraction?

Are you comfortable with the short term, but struggle to see what potential the future might hold? Or do you have a clear picture of tomorrow, but get bogged down by the details?

The Myers Briggs Type Indicator® is a versatile instrument and can be used to help address specific personal development, relationship or team issues. It uses the work of Karl Jung to explain the differences found in personality and breaks them down into 4 dichotomies, looking at:

  • How you prefer to be energised
  • What kind of information you prefer to pay attention to
  • How you process information and make decisions
  • What lifestyle you prefer
  • Working with the instrument you will be able to:
  • Quickly understand your preferred way of working and recognise your inherent strengths
  • Work more effectively with other people
  • Understand how you relate to different preferences and develop strategies to work more effectively with them
  • Develop your non preferred working styles

 

Talent: What our clients think...

"We have been working with the Clear Thinking Partnership on our leadership programme. They have not only been responsive to our needs, but have been extremely proactive in suggesting ways to help enhance the development we offer to our leaders.

Both Kate and Bev have been actively involved in the design and delivery of bespoke courses which our contact centre teams have enjoyed and put into good use back in the operational environment. They have quickly forged excellent relationships with the teams who trust them and feel safe in their hands, which makes for a better learning experience."
