Understanding your career approach
In today’s globally integrated, tightly regulated and increasingly competitive business environment, one critical success factor stands out: people and unleashing their potential in the right direction.
Increasingly, I’m hearing that professional growth without an explicit link to development is a missed opportunity to embed future professional and leadership behaviours and to produce sustainable business results. This is why we need to systematically monitor and direct our career in order to harvest what we sew.
Proper Career discussions minimise the possibility of being diverted from the ideal career path and provide a comprehensive and multi-dimensional approach to the challenges of managing and developing individuals that is more scalable and reliable than any alternative undertaken on a more limited or localized basis.
We will focus on delivering 3 value propositions while emphasising valid career discussion
Alignment
Career development in the candidates should be aligned to delivering business goals, strategic change initiatives and behaviour toward the employer.
Engagement
Structured career discussion reveals what it takes to succeed and get to the next level, and provide clarity on what career options are available.
Engagement is a fundamental part of the new employee value proposition. A proper career development approach increases employee engagement with the company.
Capability
Structured career discussion improves the individual’s ability to deliver on the business objectives by focusing competence and skill on what is important. Proper career management and development help address many of today’s challenges (lack of reliability, predictability, integration, etc.) by enabling the better — more scalable, more reliable and more consistent — management and development of people, the most valuable asset of a company.
Each Career Development could be expressed by understanding and properly managing two characteristics.
Experiences are built by profession (Sales, Marketing, Engineering, etc.) but may also be sub-categorized. Experiences provide a roadmap for career and succession planning by informing career and next-move decisions, and providing a plan of development for high potentials.
Competencies are built by profession or role. Professional competencies differentiate outstanding performances from typical ones. Management competencies define outstanding managerial behaviour for management roles while the leadership competencies define outstanding executive behaviour for leaders at the senior level. Assessments against competencies provide gaps from which to drive development planning and inform the next job move, succession and career planning.
By properly understanding these two elements, we will be able to overcome potential gaps and steer your career properly.
Trusting your career to a professional will minimise your risk of becoming diverted from your true career path.
Our services
for senior professionals and executives
This service consists of 3 condensed steps, enabling you to get more for less.
Step 1 - Calibration and a CV sanity check
At first you will need to fulfill a questionnaire. As with every Career advisory process, the discussion starts with listening, evaluating, comparing and confronting you with up-coming challenges. Setting expectations, assessing your skills and competencies, strengths and weaknesses and establishing clear next steps would be our next stage. Afterwards we will check your CV and start improving it. We will show you how to structure a valuable CV with proper key words in place and how to still preserve your own style within it.
