Strategic Talent Management

Strengthens the organisation's ability to identify leadership talent at lower levels of the organisation with a cost effective approach

A characteristic approach towards talent selection and development is the use of external assessment centres. And external assessment centres have certainly proved their value in many organisations. However...

We have found that most of the typical executive derailers are issues that could have been identified long before an individual was promoted to the executive level. And even more important, most of the derailers are most effectively dealt with long before the individual is promoted in terms of appropriate development initiatives.

Sirrah has created talent acceleration programmes that are designed to support selected talents in avoiding the most common executive derailers.

• envisage that the leaders in your organisation were trained to assess talent based on peoples performance in their every day job
• envisage that leaders considered it a critical part of their job to identify and nurture talent
• envisage having an annual performance appraisal process where you can rely on the output in terms of performance and potential.

These are the building blocks Sirrah puts in place in order to make your organisation the real assessment centre.
