Executive Profiling

Making poor appointment decisions about senior roles is a costly mistake.  Not just in terms of individual productivity, but also in terms of the effect on other people in your business and potential damage to your brand. Research has shown that 80% of the performance of a business can be attributed to the best 20% of employees.  Each of the options within our distinctive Executive Profiling approach answers questions that businesses have about an individual’s suitability for a role, and on how that executive could best be developed. We get ‘beneath the surface’ to reveal the strengths and weaknesses of an executive, as well as their underlying motivations, values and potential to develop.

Our distinctive approach includes using a range of psychologically based in depth interview techniques, backed up by a suite of psychometric assessments. We use Executive Profiling to contribute to business success in:

  • Final candidate selection
  • Succession planning and development
  • Mergers and acquisitions
  • Restructuring
  • Transition

The output is a business focussed report which describes the person’s characteristics, strengths and development areas, as well as assessing how they will fit with an organisation. It can be used both by the business to support recruitment decisions and plan development.  Optionally a three hour feedback and action planning session is available in which individuals can discuss the findings and use the insights it offers to create a development plan.
