Workforce Development
Workforce Development: Organisational, Team, Individual
Our model of organisational development is through an organisations workforce and it forms the basis of our strategy and reflects the strong evidence base that link excellent workforce capability with excellent organisational capabilitity and higher levels of staff experience with higher level of client stake holder experience.
If organisations develop their staff to be the best they can be within a supportive but accountable leadership culture then, wider organisational improments will follow.
PRINTÂŪ (Predictive Insight Tool)
PRINT is the next evolution of traditional profiling tools in that it seeks to identify not just what we do (behaviours) but why we do them (motivators). When we understand why we engage in certain behaviours, both positive and negative, it allows us to develop more effective strategies and approaches to deal with them at both the individual and team level.

The survey solicits candid (and anonymous) input from the people you work and/or interact with, about how frequently or infrequently they observe you exhibiting the 50 behaviours. A self-assessment is part of the Best Self Survey process to compare your personal perceptions with those of others.

The Best Self Survey is administered at repeated intervals to measure change over time as there:

Management and Leadership Development - Coaching
We adopt a structured approach and executive coaching model comprising the 5-Stage process outlined above.
Leadership coaching is a solution-focused approach to assisting individuals or teams to draw on their strengths and perform at their best. Our coaches work with individuals to broaden their perspectives, increase their self awareness and craft strategies that will work for them in their particular environment.
Engaging a coach to work with your people can produce excellent results. A discussion between an individual, their manager and an executive coach can assist in defining clear objectives for coaching which meet individual development needs and align with organisational need and strategic direction. While coaching conversations between coach and a leader provide confidentiality for the leader, an agreed accountability framework will ensure a focus on outcomes and action.
We use a range of instruments and tools to support the process including:
- PRINTÂŪ (Predictive Insight Tool)
- PRINTÂŪ - 360
- 360 Feedback Surveys
- The Work Personality Index- Leadership
- Work Personality Index
- EQ Testing

It also needs to be informed by strategic and business plans at an organisational and business unit level.

Workforce planning is an active and continuous process and plans will need to be reviewed at least annually.

Embedding Organisational Values and Behaviours
An organisationâs values and behaviours are a key driver in defining a high performance organisational culture. We work closely with our clients to help develop the values and behaviours that will support their goals by setting standards for staff behaviour and performance and embedding the culture in the organisation.
Workshops and consultation engage staff in behaviour standards for which they can hold each other accountable. We also help you embed the values and behaviours by integrating them in your vision, recruitment, training, and performance management and development processes.
Developing a high performance, values-aligned culture requires three integrated steps.
- Clarify performance expectations.
- Define values in behavioural terms.
- Hold leaders and staff accountable.
Performance Management, Development and Accountability
Individual and team performance management and development are powerful tools to communicate your business strategy to staff, give them a clear understanding of their job and its requirements â and support them in achieving their goals â and yours.
Where performance is not up to scratch, we can help you effectively manage or improve it. Performance management is a cycle that enables the organisation to get better results from its teams and individuals by understanding and managing performance within an agreed framework.
Performance improvement wonât happen without accountability. It relies on the accountability attitudes, practices, and systems that are in place in an organisation.
