Talent Management

We know from experience that the essence of effective talent management depends on your ability to create a high-quality, cost-effective pipeline of outstanding people that will enable your organisation to deliver its goals.

To attract, develop and retain people of the right calibre, organisations need challenging, imaginative and integrated solutions that are supported by a clear and compelling communications strategy.

Key aspects of effective TM solutions include:

  • Driven by organisational goals and strategy
  • Assess current and future capabilities
  • Develop and improve individual and team performance
  • Fit the existing or desired organisational culture

Wherever you are in the world, whether it’s for your first line employees, your high potential group, or the executive team, we offer an array of talent solutions that will fit your unique context and challenges.

Strategy Development

Engaging workshops and consultancy to support organisations that want to develop a business-led approach to talent management

Experience has taught us that to engage the leaders of your organisation in an informed debate about strategic talent management, there are two important elements.

The discussion needs to be shaped around accessible questions that go straight to the heart of the organization’s strategic goals;

Providing case studies and examples enables business leaders to explore and answer questions such as:

  • What are the ‘people levers’ for the critical organisational goals?
  • How can the TM / Development strategy and solutions add real value in those crucial organisation challenges?
  • What is the role of the Board / senior team in TM?
  • To what extent is TM about strategic people management or individual performance development?
  • What is the balance your organisation requires between process and behaviour in TM solutions?

Our workshops and consultancy provide pragmatic and outcome-focused support to develop your TM strategy.

Assessment

Assessment
Pragmatic and robust assessment tools and techniques for recruitment, re-structuring and/or development.
“Operationalising the selection of the talent required to achieve strategic goals is key to ensuring quality of hire and a robust talent pipeline. We ensure your assessment and selection processes achieve this by:

Defining ‘what’ and ‘how’: Linking the ‘what’ (goals and objectives) and ‘how’ (values and behaviours) of high performance in order to clearly understand the key focus for assessment activities

Assessment Tool Selection: Design expertise and independent advice about the best fit 3rd party provider tools and technologies to support the successful embedding of key performance factors into selection and development processes

Project Consulting and Skills Development: Supporting large-scale assessment initiatives such as restructuring programmes through design and delivery expertise. Ensuring that those responsible for identifying talent have the right knowledge and skills.

Performance Management

Performance Management
From process design to skills development – effective tools to enable critical performance conversations and performance development.

Three key elements to our offering:

Combining ‘what’ and ‘how’: simple process design to integrate the ‘what’ (goals and objectives) and ‘how’ (values and behaviours) of performance in order to agree clear performance expectations

Software Selection: independent advice about the relevant software tools to support the embedding of performance management tools

Skills Development: customised workshops for performance management education and management skills development.

Executive Insight

Individual and customised assessment process to elicit clear insight about performance, potential and fit for senior executives.
There are a number of situations when assessing a combination of performance, potential and fit for your senior executives becomes ‘mission critical’: recruitment, re-structuring, mergers and acquisitions, as a pre-cursor to executive development and /or coaching.

At AMS, executive assessments are intensive experiences that typically fit within our framework of executive capability: strategic thinking, leadership and outcome focus.

Coaching

Coaching for senior managers and executives that focus on high performance, leadership development and optimal performance during the on-boarding phase.
“Ideally used in conjunction with the Executive Insight process, our experienced faculty of executive coaches cover three areas of activity:

1st 100 Days: using a combination of workshops and coaching, we support senior people to make the transition into new roles, enabling them to integrate more quickly into your organisation and to achieve optimal performance more quickly

Performance Coaching: using coaching techniques informed by 21st Century psychology, our coaches work with senior managers and executives to achieve personal growth and high performance

Leadership Coaching: Making the move from management into leadership is demanding. Our coaches utilise a structured leadership framework to develop the most effective leadership behaviours of their clients.

Leadership Development

From Board level to first line managers, we offer customised workshops – pragmatic, imaginative and results focused – enabling leaders to achieve their strategic goals.
Developing your current and future leaders is an essential aspect of talent management. Those development activities cover a broad range of skills and knowledge.

To address those needs, from board level to first line leaders, we offer a range of customised, practical workshops, including:

Delivering Strategic Goals: a one day workshop designed to enable leaders to develop the right balance of quality and diversity of relationships to achieve strategic goals;

Leading Change: a two-day workshop that explores the fundamentals of leadership, alongside the core principles of change;

Crucial Conversations: an intensive workshop designed to enable leaders and managers to have challenging and motivating performance discussions with their teams, both collectively and individually.

Narrative Leadership: a one or two day workshop that develops effective communication and leadership skills using core principles of narrative.

Diversity and Performance

To harness diverse and complementary skills for improving performance, we offer guidance, challenge and engaging workshops.
A focus on diversity is an essential lever for organisational effectiveness. We approach diversity from three perspectives:

Obligation: meeting the legislative demands placed on your organisation

Representation: building a workforce that reflects the diversity of your customers and partners.

Innovation: bringing fresh perspectives and new approaches to drive innovation throughout the organisation.
