Below are a few examples of the services we offer in our Human Capital Practice:
Human Capital Planning and Execution
Old business models viewed people as inevitable operational costs. Today’s competitive climate requires that companies identify, nurture, and develop the human capabilities necessary to drive business results. We work with you to help link your human capital plan to your overall business plan – identifying and leveraging individual talent and potential to drive business success.
Performance Management
The performance management process assists you in achieving identified goals by developing employee potential, increasing job satisfaction and boosting overall productivity. We first work with you to define the purpose of each job; we then guide the organization through the setting of departmental goals and individual goals within the larger context. Through training and implementation, we streamline and clarify the delivery of coaching and improvement plans, ultimately maximizing overall management productivity and effectiveness.
Talent Management and Succession Planning
Research conducted at the University of Michigan demonstrated that 25% of a company’s performance (good or bad) is due to the talent of the team. We help you to identify pivotal positions, and we work with you to build processes, tools, and policies to select, develop, reward, and retain the talent necessary.
It is not enough to have the "right people on the bus," as Jim Collins advocates in Good to Great. For long-term success, an organization must actively identify and groom the next generation of leaders. After projecting your firm’s future needs, we help you with the systemic development of bench candidates to ensure you have the right people ready to fill open positions and crucial leadership roles when the time comes.
Executive Assessment Selection
Hiring or promoting the right person into an executive position is key to company performance, yet there is so much information about a candidate that cannot be gleaned through the interview process alone. We have access to industry leading tools - including qualified assessments of personality, work-place values, and derailment tendencies - that offer predictive information to ensure your future success.
Executive Coaching and Development
Superior leaders deliver superior results. We work one-on-one with key executives to help them clarify business priorities, identify leadership competencies pivotal to achieving those results, and assess personal leadership characteristics that both help and hinder performance on pivotal competencies.
We also provide a systemic development approach to an executive team. The end result of these processes is the identification of a leadership competency profile that applies to any and all executives. The information gleaned will thereby directly drive your business through improvement in pivotal competencies.
