Individual Development and Performance
Executive Development and Leadership Coaching
Our development-focused assessments provide objective, actionable information about individuals to identify leadership potential in succession candidates; inform strategies to build a diverse talent pipeline for key roles; optimize team effectiveness and develop onboarding plans for new executives. Drawing on insights from assessments, our coaches help clients develop their leadership capabilities and enhance their effectiveness. We also have access to an additional network of coaches through our Cambria Consulting business.
CEO Succession Planning
As expert advisers on candidate assessment, executive development and the CEO selection process, we assist CEOs, CHROs and boards with the important and complex task of CEO succession planning. We help organizations identify, assess and develop a diverse pipeline of potential successors and design an inclusive process that is effective, fair and credible.
CEO and Senior Executive Onboarding
The earliest days for a new leader, especially the CEO, represent a critical window for establishing the tone and agenda for the rest of his or her tenure. We offer customized support to help new CEOs and other senior executives make the most out of this critical period, with a specific focus on enhancing individual and team effectiveness, building needed expertise, and defining and shaping the organization’s culture.
Team Performance
Top Team Effectiveness
Organizations that cultivate and sustain high-performing senior leadership teams are more likely to realize breakout success. We measure the factors that have the greatest impact on the health of top leadership teams, including team styles and dynamics, and provide advice for improving team performance and alignment with the future direction of the business. We advise on areas such as team formation, role definition and structure.
Organizational Performance
Mergers and Acquisitions
Both pre- and post-merger, we partner with clients to identify potential cultural barriers that may need to be overcome, define the capabilities required for critical roles in the merged company, and provide accurate, objective assessments that help companies select, retain and integrate the right people for the business and forge a unified top team.
Organizational Culture, Talent and Strategy Alignment
Our proprietary organizational culture framework and diagnostic tools help companies define their current culture and identify the cultural styles that support their strategic imperatives. We use these insights to help organizations design and implement a target culture, and help teams make related leadership decisions. In addition, our HR & Talent Advisory experts help CHROs optimize the HR function to ensure it is focused on delivering value to the business. Our goal is to help organizations identify where to focus and how to build the capacity and capability needed to achieve organizational effectiveness, efficiency and performance.
