"All relationships begin with a simple conversation."
DISCOVERY + PREP
We start with a simple conversation to see if this program is the right fit at this time and to help us tailor the training content, evaluation tools, and scheduling for your business.
- Your vision and plans for the business over the next 5-7 years including succession if applicable. The outcome of an effective Talent Value Stream is that your vision and plans are never constrained by talent.
- Your org structure and key people - including who should be part of the training, evaluation, and roadmap.
- Overview of your current talent processes, tools, and results over the last few years.
TRAINING
The "Pure Training" part of this program is 60-120 minutes total depending on your needs and the people involved. Every aspect of the training is reinforced and expanded upon while we work through the evaluation and roadmap with you and your team.
EVALUATION + ROADMAP
This is where the majority of the time is spent. This is scheduled and tailored based on what each team requires including:
- Individual interview and work observations.
- Small group sessions.
- Larger group sessions.
We look at each stage of the Talent Value Stream
- Planning for Talent Needs
- Recruiting through job offer acceptance (Hiring)
- On-Boarding: From the job offer acceptance through being trained and productive in the role they were hired for.
- Retention and Development: Culture, evaluations, feedback, career path planning, and longer-term development towards both mastery in their current role and for future potential job roles.
- Off-Boarding: Whether this is planned like a retirement, making the best of a regrettable separation, or managing a termination, the off-boarding process is as important as the on-boarding.
Within each stage of the Talent Value Stream, we look at your people, processes, tools, and results.
- What are you doing well as compared to other contractors in the industry?
- What are immediate things you can do to improve? Low-hanging fruit with a rapid return.
- What are longer-range improvements that need to be prioritized including sequencing?
Please contact us to learn more about the specifics and how this would apply to your business. What is described above is a typical outline, but every contractor's situation is different including where they are at in their business growth cycle, where the market is at, where their team is at, and what they want in the future.
