Filling the Measurement Gap


"In the absence of a substantial and proven body of knowledge and skills (about how to measure the impact of leadership development), practitioners who claim professionalism will eventually be revealed: at best, as well-meaning amateurs and, at worst, as charlatans"

Extract from an article by Dr. Roger Stuart - Director of Research and Development at The Wadenhoe Centre "Organisations & People, August 1998, Vol 5, No 3.

Shortly after this article was written Roger Stuart led, what is probably still the most significant piece of research into "Putting a Measure on Management/Leadership Development.

Since 2001, it has provided the backbone to all of Wadenhoe's work. So that any assignment that we undertake

Must be:
  • A means to (a means to) an end with business benefits
  • Purpose-led
  • Business embedded
  • Top Down - Bottom Up
  • Simple & Generalisable
Must have:
  • Demonstrable Payback
  • Performance logic
  • Balanced measures
  • Stakeholder agendas
  • Demonstrable linkages
To achieve this we have developed "Business Case Cards" for the design and development stages and "Business Scorecards" for the implementation and sustaining stages.

It is this approach that we would like to share with you.

If you would like to take a first step by meeting one of the team for a couple of hours to learn more about our approach and complete an initial "diagnosis" of where you are now, contact Ray Atkinson on: 01865 339558 or email: ray@wadenhoeconsultancy.com.
