We utilize a range of coaching approaches, allowing leaders to gain personal insights and deeper understanding that will help them enhance their own performance and achieve their business goals.
Working face-to-face, or virtually, examples of leaders Anne has coached include Country and Business Line Managing Directors, Senior Commercial and Functional Leaders and Senior HR Professionals. These are typically Executives with challenging roles in global or international organizations, both commercial and charitable, frequently going through major change and growth.
We have experience, appreciation and understanding of the complexity of their roles, which enables us to be relevant and well placed to provide both support and challenge. We provide trained, professional coaches who are licensed in various psychometric tools as well as possessing business leadership experience.
These can take many forms, whether part of a strategic organizational transformation or driven by a specific ‘event’. We have experience of:
Our previous experience covers a range of M&A related activities from due diligence through to organizational integration. This ranges from leading the people activity work streams on major global deals, working alongside leaders from both organizations and in some instances professional services partners. At the other end of the scale, working as part of teams acquiring and integrating smaller family-owned and run businesses in many countries, particularly in Emerging Markets. In either scenario, the importance of understanding and managing all the people implications has been an important factor in the overall success of the deal.
Developing an HR Strategy that meets the future needs of the business is a critical and often complex process. Our approach is to understand the market, the business culture and the affordability and predictability of the future business in order to create a relevant HR strategy and robust operating plan that will deliver this. This plan would typically include a strong focus on Organizational Design (OD) & Development, Rewards, Talent Acquisition, Talent Development and Employee Engagement and Communications. The exact approach would be specific to your organization’s needs, however we have significant experience across these areas
From a ‘greenfield’ beginning, we designed, built and executed a talent strategy that commenced with creating an overarching vision defining what talent resources the organization needs for today and for the future. This was followed by an assessment and development program for the leadership team and their senior teams, combining a range of tools including 360 degree feedback. Competency-based, it enabled the business to make evidence-based strategic talent decisions and at the same time supported the individual development of high potential talent in the organization.
