Expertise

Executive Assessments

I deliver a range of executive assessments — be it for development, assessment of potential, succession planning or selection. I work with a range of leaders across levels, from mid-level to C-suite. Leaders I have worked with come from Energy, Manufacturing, Technology, Trading, Private Equity and many other sectors.
Majority of assessments I deliver are based on the Hogan suite (HPI, HDS, MVPI) and/or Saville Wave; many clients also use proprietary tools and methodologies for which I am happy to be additionally certified.

Whilst many clients hire me to deliver assessments to a format that they specify, I am also skilled in designing bespoke approaches, including recommendation on which tools to use, as well as developing suitable reporting formats.

I pride myself on my clear report-writing, always adapting to clients’ expectations in terms of ‘house style’. Quality, clarity and attention to detail are very important to me and as a result, I have often been asked to provide quality assurance for other associates’ reports.

Examples of work in this area include:

• Multiple senior executive selection and development assessments (C-suite level) for Private Equity backed companies across sectors and geographies.
• Series of succession-mapping assessments for a major international renewable energy developer.
• Mid-level leader individual development assessments for an international energy company, involving:
  • Assessment centre structure with multiple exercises delivered virtually, including simulations, role-plays, interviews;
  • In-depth structured report against multiple client-specific behavioural competencies;
  • Verbal debrief of results with client’s Talent / HR team;
  • Feedback and developmental debrief session with the candidate.
• 360-degree survey assessments, reports and feedback (both written and verbal 360s) for mid- to senior-level leaders globally.

Leadership Development

I am highly skilled in designing and leading complex, often bespoke, leadership development programmes across a range of leadership levels. My particular strength is the ability to effectively diagnose key capability gaps in individuals, teams and populations, based on developing a strong understanding of success factors in particular business contexts. My approach to design could be described as creative yet disciplined. As a facilitator and coach, I bring experience and credibility.
