Austen Advisory
Providing businesses with people insights to achieve goals and manage risk
Leadership Assessment
Combining the best tools, techniques and technology available to develop a fit for purpose assessment approach, aligned to pre-defined success criteria. Evidence-based feedback is provided to both individuals and the company to provoke insightful decisions.
Leadership Development
Further to assessment, development is focused on bridging the gaps between current capability and defined success criteria. Typically, leaders participate in a programme where they are supported in addressing their development needs through self-realisation, action-planning and learning new skills, knowledge and behaviours.
Succession Management
As a follow on from assessment and leadership development, Succession Management addresses the needs to identify leadership potential early, accelerate personal growth and prepare leadership for critical roles or new opportunities. This mitigates the impact from sudden exits of key leaders or business changes.
Resilience Building
Some stress is inevitable with any human activity but with proactive and focused actions, both personal and organisational resilience can be enhanced. Any such programme can mitigate the risks of irrational and dangerous behaviours, will save costs, should increase productivity and will be a fundamental part of both attracting and retaining the best talent.
- Defining the criteria for selection and assessment of staff before they join, during their tenure and at a time of business change
- Developing leaders that are aligned to strategy and can take the business forward in the short, and longer term
- Ensuring succession for the future through early identification of talent and developing a coherent and rigourous plan to minimise business risk
- Measuring and managing risk from stress using proprietary tool AURA to build organisational resilience
- Coaching individuals to support change and maximise their potential
In applying the above, the aim is to use the best available approaches and tools to ensure fit for purpose solutions.
Our use of AURA has given us facts based evidence to develop resilience in our teams and tools to aid great conversations.
