Orchestrating strategic people solutions |
|
Our starting point is always to understand your strategic intent and business strategy in the context of your current concerns. We apply a range of diagnostic tools to gain clarity regarding the issues at hand, and then work with you as the Leader on effective strategies and solutions. In particular, the outstanding Individual Profiling tool we use provides invaluable data in the diagnostic stage.
We offer:
Strategic Human Resource ManagementWe provide strategic Human Resources services for clients where they do not currently have the internal capability. We offer organisations clarity with respect to the HR function and put in place HR strategies aligned to the overall business strategy.
We work with leaders to design and implement change programs, providing an understanding of the impact of change on people, and partnering with the business to mitigate potential risks arising from restructures, mergers, acquisitions and closures. We have specific expertise in drafting communication memos and coaching leaders during the change process. We also facilitate the articulation of their organisation’s values and desired culture.
We facilitate workshops with senior leadership teams and Boards to redefine or gain greater clarity around the organisation’s purpose, vision, mission, values and business strategies.
We are licensed by Management Growth Systems (MGS) to use their unique and reliable Profiling system. To date, Duet Consulting has Profiled approximately 3,000 people. A key to our success with MGS’s tools is the individual feedback process we have designed to respect each individual’s dignity and confidentiality, and ensure their “buy-in”.
We identify issues impacting on staff retention (using profiling data and surveys) and work with leaders to implement strategies to identify their key staff, to motivate and properly reward them, design development plans, clarify the best-fit roles, and thus dramatically reduce unwanted turnover.
We design and facilitate teambuilding, often using the MGS Individual Profiles to enhance the understanding and appreciation of individual strengths, development needs and style differences. We identify and address issues around role clarity and role stress, and provide training on areas such as feedback, work style preferences, assertiveness and interpersonal skills.
We apply our unique Alignment Model to ensure that everyone’s work, and the “people solutions” we provide, are integrated and aligned to the business strategy. For instance, there is no value in recruiting new staff into a troubled business when there has been no review of the overall organisation design, future needs and way of working.
We facilitate reviews, from “how the organisation could best be structured” through to “role definitions” and “drafting position descriptions”. Our value-add is to challenge the thinking behind current business models, and to enable the leadership team to engage in robust debate towards optimising, even reinventing, the organisation.
We work with the leaders to identify the “people capability” required now and into the future. We provide advice on succession and development planning to ensure that the organisation has the necessary leaders, knowledge and skill base to meet future challenges. We use our licensed MGS Profiling tool to identify hidden potential and verify prospective candidates.
We work with "behavioural drive" Profiles to enable leaders / managers to identify their particular strengths and development needs, preferred work style and role stressors. Our work may involve affirming and (sometimes re-affirming) the leader or leadership team. We also provide coaching and present customised in-house leadership / management development programs as required.
We apply solutions-based coaching for existing and aspiring leaders. Coaching is tailored to individual needs and addresses “real-time” issues as distinct from structured training and development programs. Coaching has been proven to deliver excellent return on investment, and may be a significant input to key-staff Retention strategies and Leadership Development. Coaching is central to Duet Consulting’s overall Approach.
In addition to structured interviewing and other techniques, we use the MGS Profiling System to ensure candidates are selected on the basis of "best fit" for the business now and into the future. We work with our clients to provide on-the-ground recruitment support through all stages of the recruitment and selection cycle. This is particularly useful for organisations without an internal HR function or with a limited HR function.
