The in-depth assessment is the key in all our executive search processes. We dare to say that we are one of the best in assessing leadership capability, personality, motivation, and values – and relate that to the specific position we recruit for. That make us able to not only present a final candidate with a relevant background, but to provide a top candidate that will be truly successful over time.

Assessment of potential
The candidate looking for a new job wants something new, exciting and developing – and our client prefers someone who has done the job before… By thoroughly mapping of a candidate´s innate, but yet not fully developed, capabilities, we assess the potential to take on and succeed in a new role.

Leadership development
What is your company´s greatest challenge right now? Is it about sales growth, product development or about developing coworkers and teams? We can support you in setting the right focus for the executive team.
We facilitate the process, starting by guiding your executive team in analyzing the present situation. From there, we guide you through defining the goals and the strategies, and in working out a detailed action plan. The executive team goes forward with a common view of what needs to be achieved, and concrete activities to accomplish to fulfill the strategy and reach the goals. And we are there to facilitate the process and support you along the way. Every project is tailormade to meet specific situations and needs.
Executive Coaching
The starting point of leadership development is to support the participants in defining their present situation, and relate that to what is expected of them in the future. What should I invest my attention in to reach the goals I want to achieve? Am I engaged in the right things, or is my time consumed by activities that will not lead to the results I want? How do I seize the opportunities and how do I manage challenges? How am I perceived as a manager and as a leader in my organization? In the management team?
Self-insight and reflection is increasingly seen as the foundation for genuine leadership. We explore and reflect together on the participant´s leadership profile; we underline the participant’s strengths and how to best make use of them, and we sort out what areas to consciously work on to mature as a leader. Practical training in specific real work situations, with subsequent reflections and conclusion runs through the development program, which is customized for each individual leader.
