Training needs analysis:
We help you:
• identify the skills you need in your organisation

We have the expertise to carry out a training needs analysis at individual level, departmental level or for the whole organisation.
By carrying out a training needs analysis, you will be able to:
- prioritise your training needs
- ensure you train the right people
- ensure you address the right skills gaps
- avoid unnecessary spend
- clarify the success measures for any training interventions
We will work closely with you to help you create and implement your training strategies to assist you in achieving your business goals.
Bespoke training courses:
We create tailored training programmes, designed specifically to meet your needs. After an initial consultation where we spend time understanding your business goals, the skills and knowledge you want to develop and who the training is for, we will produce a bespoke proposal for your consideration.

- 360 feedback tools
- situational judgement assessments
- leadership styles and leadership skills assessments

Our most popular assessment tools are:
Mental Toughness:
The MTQ48 assessment is a unique high-quality psychometric measure that measures Mental Toughness, which describes the mindset that every person adopts in everything they do. It is closely related to qualities such as character, resilience, grit, etc.
Published research and case studies from around the world show that Mental Toughness is a major factor in:
- Performance – explaining up to 25% of the variation in performance in individuals
- Positive Behaviour – more engaged, more positive, more “can do”
- Wellbeing – more contentment, better stress management, less prone to bullying
- Aspirations – more ambitious, prepared to manage more risk
Leadership:
The ILM72 assessment is a reliable psychometric measure which assesses two important elements: Adopted Leadership Style and Leadership Effectiveness in terms of Leadership Behaviour.
Effective leadership motivates people to give up their discretionary effort and do it willingly and enthusiastically.
ILM72 assesses 6 elements of leadership style:
- Goal orientation
- Motivation
- Engagement
- Control
- Recognition
- Structure
It also assesses 3 core behaviours of effective leadership
- Determination to deliver
- Engagement with Teams
- Engagement with Individuals
Career Decision Maker:
The Career Decision Maker assessment tool allows you to identify your skills, interests, values and achievements as well as your personality profile. Together these help you develop your career goals and aspirations.
The personality profile shows your strengths as well as areas for development in:
- How you interact with others
- How you like to work
- How you think and make decisions
- How you deal with stress and pressure
You will better understand the skills that motivate you at work and which ones will lead to burnout for you. You will identify your primary interests, your core values and have a summary of your unique profile and motivators.
The report will also produce a range of career options for your consideration.
Combine this with 1-1 career coaching to help you transition in your career more effectively.
Other assessment tools are available and we will work with you to identify the most suitable options to meet your requirements.
