How we partner with you

Our approach encourages boards and CEOs to manage their talent portfolio as they would their business portfolio — actively, deliberately, continuously. We closely monitor the progress of the critical 25-50 leaders against the company’s evolving strategy.

We’ll align business and behavioral outcomes. The criteria we use to assess leaders is tethered to where the business is today and where it needs to go in the future, not to general universally accepted competencies.

Our Potential Model will demystify leadership potential by breaking it down into observable, measurable behaviors (Cognitive Quotient, Drive Quotient, Emotional Quotient).

SmartDev is our expansive approach to development. SmartDev focuses on helping companies design role expansion, rotation, stretch experiences, and opportunities for exposure to key stakeholders internally and key forums externally. We combine this with our coaching and leadership advisory services, providing tactical advice and concrete skill-building to individuals and to leadership cohorts.

What you can expect

We’ll help you move stale succession plans to proactive management of the enterprise talent portfolio by:

• Building a robust bench of talent to create succession options for key roles.
