Management Development
We design and deliver
Management Education in:
•
Managerial Leadership Practices
• Managerial Behavior
• Managerial Competencies
• Managerial Culture
All our Management Development Programs have three phases:
•
Assessment prior to delivering the content (this can be
Self-Assessment only, 180 Assessment or 360 Assessment)
•
Delivery of the content (which can be customized to fit client
needs)
• Establishing Individual Development Plans designed
to be accomplished in real-time back on-the-job
Managerial Leadership
The Managerial Leadership
Practices Assessment (paper/pencil or on-line) measures six
Managerial Leadership Practices (Managerial Planning, Task
Assignment, Context Setting, Feedback, Coaching, and Appraisal)
necessary for being an effective manager.
The assessment
takes about twenty minutes to complete. A subsequent workshop
covering the different practices (including the ‘ideal’ practice)
takes about one day. At the end of each of the practices covered in
the workshop, gaps between the self-assessment and assessments of
others are analyzed. A comparison to the ‘idea’ is also examined.
Individual action plans for improvement are prepared for
implementation back on-the-job.
Managerial Behavior
The on-line
assessment measures twelve traits/values that drive managerial
behavior. The resulting profile is divided into three clusters:
constructive, passive and aggressive.
A workshop covering
the twelve factors takes one-half day. Each person’s profile is
compared against the group and/or organization profile plus an
’ideal’ managerial profile. Gaps are identified and action plans for
improvement are prepared.
Studies have shown that by assessing managers' competencies before training reduces development costs by up to 50%, as training is then targeted to identified needs. In addition, managers' motivation to learn significantly increases when they realize the potential benefits of raising their competency level in specific areas.

Managerial Competencies
This
Management Development System has four phases: Assessment, Interpretation,
Planning, and Training.
The Assessment phase takes about five hours
responding to video scenarios and results in a computer-generated profile of
the participant’s strengths and areas for development on twelve managerial
competencies. A group profile is also generated for use in targeting overall
training needs. This comprises day one of a two-day workshop.
The
Interpretation phase (morning of day two) defines the desired managerial
behaviors regarding these twelve managerial competencies and identifies
proficiency gaps.
The Planning phase (afternoon of day two) is where
participants diagnose their profiles and work on their Individual
Development Plans setting out actions to be taken for training, development
and future growth.
The Training phase is done over time as half-day
workshops are scheduled based on the collective needs of all participants.
Managerial Cultural Audit
By having all
managers participate in this on-line survey, the assessment will
measure the managerial culture of the organization which, in
turn, significantly affects the overall culture of the
organization.
The results are compared with the ‘ideal’
culture and discussed with senior management as to suggested
next steps.
