Gaining the advantage

We use psychometric testing as a starting point to assess the leader of the business and his team, the assessment of the individuals gives a clear insight into the mix of capabilities and personalities within the team. We then combine the individual results into a team assessment which identifies how the team will perform in a range of circumstances. It also gives an indication of what development requirements may be required post acquisition to ensure investor returns.

The clarity to which a strategy can be communicated can often give insights into how effectively it can be executed. Where there is poor strategic alignment time, money and resources can be ineffectively utilised. Through a scientifically designed process of interviews, we assess how the Leaders and his team define, communicate, and execute their strategy.

In the psychometric testing phase, we will have established how the individuals are likely to perform under stress, another key element to this is how prepared they are for change and crisis. We look at their planning and assessment of risk, as well of previous examples where they may have had to implement such plans. Businesses today are operating in an environment where speed of change is faster than anytime in history, successful businesses require agility and adaptability.

An often-overlooked area of a leadership team is the physical and mental resilience of the team, the energy levels, stress management and overall wellbeing are all critical areas in understanding how a team will perform. We use a simple but effective questionnaire and interview process to assess this area, in our consulting team we have leading medical professionals who are expert in the latest understanding of physical performance and how to improve and maintain it.
