INDIVIDUAL DEVELOPMENT
Individual development sessions help people understand what their strengths are, what motivates them, and how they can progress in their career. It also allows them to confront their weaknesses. As part of this process we assist them in completing an action plan so that, being aware of these limitations, they can work on them, improve them and move forward.
Each one-to-one session consists of
An introductory interview, which covers their aspirations, operational and/or management style, perceived personal strengths and limitations.
Assessment using a series of psychometric and managerial judgement questionnaires and critical reasoning tests. These are selected according to their relevance to each individual and their specific role and can be completed on-line.
This is followed by an in-depth feedback session where complete agreement is gained between the assessor and the individual.
An action plan is devised in order to develop appropriate skills sets.
A written report is then provided along with a structured programme for development.
The primary benefits to the individual of a development session are
It provides an opportunity to dedicate a period of time totally to self-development.
It offers a concentrated session of personal feedback, which in turn develops self-awareness.
It offers the opportunity to gain a better insight into personal strengths and development needs.
It provides a definite starting point for career development.
Overall, development sessions are very motivational - it is actively demonstrated to the individual that the organisation is taking a positive interest in their future.
360° feedback
As part of an individual or organisational development process we can put in place a 360° feedback system. This can be for just the one individual being developed or for the whole organisation.
Whilst the individual development or appraisal process focuses on how the individual perceives themselves, a 360° process focuses on how they are perceived by others; their bosses, their peers and their direct reports.
