"Techniques don't produce quality products or pick up the garbage on time; people do, people who care, people who are treated as creatively contributing adults."

				Working very closely with an internal management development function our work with this national charity balanced internal and external resources. The event we designed and delivered to over 60 middle managers was to provide a gateway to an internal management development programme. The aims of the event were to begin a self-directed learning process amongst staff so they could make informed decisions about which parts of the management development programme were right for them. Almost immediately following the events managers set up a number of action learning sets.



		Working with a large chemical production company we developed a leadership competency model to balance Transactional and Transformational elements with three levels of performance to reflect increasing seniority and responsibility. Using a range of interactive tools and techniques ensured that the key senior managers were included and could make their input to the process. The result was a model that could be rolled out as a worldwide leadership competency model.


	Some of the most rewarding work we do is working with individuals to review their career choice and develop alternative options. Our role is to help identify strengths and limitations around each option. A number of our clients are now in alternative roles or in the process of reviewing their options. All are assured ongoing support from Destination Performance.

Destination Performance was asked to analyse some questionnaire data a national charity had collated and to facilitate a number of meetings of the Board of Trustees The aim of this project was to help the Board of Trustees to identify a strategy for the organisation. By using careful facilitation Trustees began to understand their role within the organisations structure. This allowed them to see what changes needed to be made to work towards their new strategy. Since this piece of work was carried out the organisation has made major changes in their structure and are beginning to reap the rewards.

We supported a legal company in their recruitment choice of a senior role by administering online personality questionnaires to their candidates and providing a Senior Consultant to deliver feedback to the candidates and to the selection panel. They were new to using psychometrics in selection and their initial response to the support from Destination Performance was very positive. The Head of the selection panel commented that the level of information provided by far surpassed expectations.
