Development Centres

Development Centres provide a powerful means for individuals to experience relevant work simulations, add to their self insight, receive feedback, and identify specific development points.

A high percentage of our work has involved creating and implementing tailored development centres, consistent with established ‘best practice’ principles.  The success of our projects has been evidenced in a high rate of repeat and referred business.  Feedback from clients indicates that they particularly value:

  The credibility of the centres we create.  Participants see their experience as relevant and valid.  Organisations appreciate that we understand their business context and needs.

  The effectiveness of feedback.  Where there is a development agenda, the potential value of any feedback is determined by how individuals receive it and decide to respond.  We have a strong ‘track record’ of challenging people’s self-perceptions in a way that they feel able to accept and move forwards with.

  Usable, insightful outputs.  We work closely with clients to work out how information and feedback can best be structured and captured to make sense to users.  We use our professional skills to integrate and ‘make sense’ of different data sources, so you don’t have to.

  Whole process focus.  We appreciate the sensitivities that often go with running Development Centre projects, and we make this knowledge and expertise available to you so that work is clearly and appropriately positioned with all the key stakeholders.  We have a reputation for taking care of the important points of detail.
