Research is “the systematic investigation into and study of materials and sources in order to establish facts and reach new conclusions.” This is why assessment and evaluation is such an important part of our offering and the work we do. Research helps to get to the heart of a matter. Research often facilitates learning and the acceptance of new perspectives about an issue. It can challenge current practices, open up new opportunities, and generate renewed energy in ways that subjective discussions cannot.
Our research, assessment and evaluation approaches are practical, grounded in academic rigour, and based on many decades of application in organisational settings.We use data, where we can, to develop strategies and recommendations that can be measured and managed.
Below are some of our research, assessment and evaluation capabilities:
- Business capabilities – assessment of strategies, structure, processes, and people capabilities.
- Top team function – assessment of the function, form, assumptions, practices, behaviours, and mix (the right membership) of management teams.
- HR processes and function – assessment and evaluation of recruitment, retention, staff planning and succession, remuneration, learning, development, and deployment processes.
- Leadership capabilities and potential – assessment and development centres for management teams, talent, and potential recruits.
- Individual assessment and evaluations – psychometric tests, interviews, coaching, 360 degree feedback on-line tools, and peer review feedback activities.
