Our customized practice area in Leadership Assessment & Development can help organizations:

Allow us to work with your organization to help define or clarify your talent management and pipeline development process.  Our global expertise in leadership development and our familiarity with industry standards and best practices, allow us to work with you to develop a program that is ideal for your operating environment.  What works at one company doesn't necessarily work at the next one.  Our consultative approach recognizes that basic tenet. 

iAdvance is the name we give to our talent management consulting.  It is the brand we provide to one of our most effective assessment processes. iAdvance has proven global effectiveness. It is a focused and incredibly personalized look into individual strengths and development needs. It is designed to evaluate the strengths and development areas of leaders and provide feedback as to what behaviors should be leveraged, and which behaviors need to be modified, for ongoing success. Unlike other assessment tools, iAdvance focuses not only on current leadership effectiveness, but also assesses potential for larger or broader roles.

Our consulting expertise tells us that iAdvance is ideally  comprised of some combination of different steps or phases such as:

1. Assessment Interview: An intense conversation convering personal background, education, professional experience, job satisifiers, self-assessment, and career goals. 
2. Live 360: Thorough business references (utilizing a 360 perspective of managers, peers, business partners, and subordinates) providing feebdack as to strengths and development needs in a secure, anonymous environment.
3. Report Writing: Comprehensive written reports summarize and interpret the data gained through the interview and/or reference checks including background information, a detailed presentation of strengths and development needs,  recommendations for improvement, and career advice.
4. Coaching: Intense personal coaching and feedback sessions cover the themes surfaced during the assessment process.  Feedback is professionally and respectfully delivered with a focus on actionable development plans.

Benefits of iAdvance Leadership Assessment & Development Consulting:

• Management clarity - standardized critical assessment factors allow leaders to consistently calibrate talent globally and identify depth and gaps in bench strength of talent across the organization.
• Improved retention and morale - employees selected for a Leadership Assessment feel the impact of the company investing in their long term development.
