Management Assessment and Audit
Alium business psychologists and executive coaches can assess your organisation’s management capability, identify emerging leadership talent and coach your executives to maximise strengths and develop additional management skills.
Alium’s management assessment and audit service determines critical gaps and weaknesses to give you the insights to make crucial resourcing decisions. Do you have the managers you need to grow the business or take forward a new vision? Is succession planning effective? Do your managers have what it takes to deliver your strategic goals?
Our chartered business psychologists, skilled in the use of psychometric tests and in-depth, capability-based interviewing, assess your executives against company specific skills profiles. This service can be invaluable:
- During and after mergers or acquisitions to evaluate management's fit within the new organisation
- During corporate restructuring, when roles, relationships and responsibilities shift significantly
- After major change, when management’s capacity to lead the businesses in the future may be questioned, or
- Whenever an organisation would value an external and independent perspective on individual directors and managers, whether as candidates for senior positions, when they are at career cross-roads, or who may just be in need of some informed counsel and advice.
Executive coaching and leadership transitions
Following our audit, Alium can offer individual coaching for senior executives and directors – either to prepare them for current or future challenges or, more commonly, to enable them to successfully transition into new roles, often the largest in their careers to date.
Our coaches work with executives joining the main Board for the first time, with functional managers moving into general management, or with business unit leaders taking responsibility for a large division or geographical area.
They help them prioritise their key activities over the vital first 100 days, avoid the common pitfalls that can derail new leaders, and swiftly develop the additional skills their new role demands.
