People Development - Shift F7

Our work in this area is about helping people to fulfil their potential and thereby making their organisations more successful. We work with you to develop an environment where people have the opportunity to do what they do best; where they understand what is required of them; and where they really want to see their organisation succeed. Our role is to enable people: individuals, teams – entire organisations – to be the best they can be.
Our approach to people development capitalises on our understanding of the psychology of behaviour at work. Our team is both highly qualified in occupational psychology and experienced in the realities of corporate life. This combination makes us pragmatic, insightful and above all, effective.
What we doWe work with you to identify the issues, develop solutions and deliver interventions which achieve your desired objectives. Our core capability in people development covers the following areas:
Skills development Developing skills in management, leadership and interpersonal effectiveness, for example:
We can deliver this kind of development in many different ways according to your needs – classroom, workshop, one-to-one, e-learning, train-the-trainer, etc.
Executive coaching Coaching is an extremely effective method of enabling an individual to identify and adopt the right mindset, behaviour and competence to achieve personal and organisational success. Individuals may need coaching for a number of different reasons – whether these are identified by themselves or by their organisation. We coach individuals from all levels up to CEO and take steps to ensure a good match between coach and coachee in terms of experience and rapport. Typically, we recommend conducting a 360-degree feedback process for each coachee followed by a series of coaching sessions to address existing issues and new challenges as they emerge.
Facilitation How effective are your team meetings, leadership off-sites, strategy sessions, etc.? In our experience, such interactions are notably more effective and prove a far better use of your time when facilitated by a credible, competent third party. Whether it be for teambuilding, strategy work, conflict resolution, or any other situation which calls for skilled handling of interpersonal factors, logistical issues, or other pressures, our experienced facilitators provide crucial support, challenge and guidance to ensure that you get the most out of your meetings.
Profiling Having an understanding of how your people think and perform is critical in planning what your future organisation should look like. We can work with you through this, from defining the criteria against which you will assess your people, through to developing and delivering appropriate interventions. While our expertise in profiling extends far beyond psychometrics, we are also qualified in an extensive array of such tools, which can be used to complement selection and assessment, and individual and team development. Some of the tools we use are: Myers-Briggs, Strength Deployment Inventory (SDI), Firo-B, Neo-PI, Belbin, MAPP, 16PF and Strengthscope. Some of the projects we have helped clients with in the area of profiling include:
How we do itWe have great depth and breadth of experience in our team, and can bring our ideas and case studies of past work which may well resonate with your needs. However, what makes us different is recognition that each organisation is unique and therefore has a particular set of needs to be explored. Getting to know your organisation by gathering feedback from your people on what they really think and feel is, we feel, the best way to identify the issues. We then develop recommendations using both this data and your objectives.
What also sets us apart is that we are flexible enough to be responsive to your exact needs. Which means that if you want a series of two-hour sessions on a range of management skills – we can do it. If you want an in-depth researched, cutting edge and totally bespoke 5-day leadership development experience for your people – we can do that too.
