DEVELOPMENT CENTRES THAT WORK
Two days that successfully combine "assessment" and "development"
Apart from carefully tailored exercises that focus on Core Transferable "Thinking" and "Doing" Personal Qualities, there are five pre and post "centre" ingredients that differentiate Wadenhoe's approach from most of the rest:
|
Preparation
Tele-briefing with participants and line managers,
so that there is a clearly defined and immediate business
benefit for attendance, alongside the longer-term career planning objectives.
|
Warm-up
One day, linked to individual psychometric and 360° profiles,
with time to understand the Transferable Personal Qualities we are focusing on
and opportunities to try them out with a range of practice exercises.
|
Goal Focus
Before the workshop we scope out the various leadership roles
that we will be using as our benchmark - this provides us with the
answer to the all-important question: potential for what?
It also enables us to design exercises that reflect each organisation's
context, challenges and culture, while providing an "even playing field" for everyone.
|
Review
Our process is totally "open" and we are absolutely clear with participants
about the outcomes from each exercise and the "snapshot" that these provide
about possible future personal and career development options.
|
Improvement Plans
This is about "link back" to the organisation.
Alongside recommendations for personal development, we provide everyone
with the unique tools for self-directed learning, which have been developed from
our research into "Natural Learning".
