Using the Strategic Directions^TM assessment from Management Research Group, we help organisations to objectively define their future leadership requirements. This is a faciilitated process with the senior leadership team which is designed to look at the business strategy and future commercial objectives of the organisation, and how this can be defined and operationalised from a leadership point of view.

Using the Leadership Effectiveness Analysis^TM 360 or Culture Audit, we measure existing leadership behaviours and provide individuals and teams with insightful and challenging feedback on their current leadership approaches and competencies. This process defines existing leadership competencies compared to future leadership needs as defined in the Strategic Directions^TM process.

Whether at individual, team or organisational level, it is critically important to move from identifying to addressing developmental needs. The process we employ identifies not only desired versus current state, but also the developmental methods (coaching, skill acquisition, action/experiential learning) that will best support those developmental needs. There can also other critical questions to explore, such as whether to build versus buy, whether there is an element of cultural change required, and what your data can tell you about the leadership culture of your organisation.

As we engage in the development process or support our clients in building out their own learning design and content, the normative basis of the assessments we use fully support the objective measurement of change, the influence of the developmental methods being employed, the move towards the key leadership competencies identified during the Strategic Directions^TM process or contained in the client's existing competency/leadership model, and any course corrections required to maintain a purposeful and goal-oriented development strategy.
