Our expertise in human capital consulting revolves around the key areas of talent management, strategic change management, interpersonal organisation development interventions, leadership assessment and development.

Talent Management

Establishing talent management initiatives has become an imperative for organisations looking to respond to sharply escalating recruitment costs, a shrinking pool of available staff to fill important leadership positions, corporate downsizing, and re-engineering trends. All of which have challenged traditional succession planning practices.

At People and Organisation Development our principal consultants have successfully implemented talent management programs across government departments, finance and insurance companies, non-for-profit companies, manufacturing, mining and engineering companies. Our talent management programs revolve around our unique talent identification model that has been established on scientific research and practical application within the workplace. This model has been taught at postgraduate level as best practice in selecting high potential employees.

Strategic Change Management

Strategic Change Management is about ensuring that good business strategies are implemented by focusing an organisation on managing its change process, while dealing with human resource issues that are necessary to execute the strategy. As organisational development specialists, we can assist you in the design, implementation, facilitation, and evaluation of strategic change initiatives. We have particular experience in management the culture integration in mergers and acquisitions.

Interpersonal OD Interventions

At People and Organisation Development, we recognise that there are several organisational development (OD) strategies that can enhance the development and empowerment of individuals within organisations. Such strategies include team building, process consultation and conflict resolution. We cluster these strategies under interpersonal OD interventions. With the implementation of these suggested strategies, we aim to help improve your employees’ working relationships with one another.

Leadership Assessment & Development

While there is a large volume of cumulative knowledge on leadership, there are still many questions that are yet to be answered with regard to the practice of leadership. In particular, what is required to be an effective leader?  People and Organisation Development is currently at the forefront of leadership assessment and development research with published work showing that executives who achieve the best business outcomes are the ones who generally display high emotional intelligence (EI), manifest certain personality characteristics (e.g., high openness and low vigilance), and have an above average reasoning ability. This work has spurred considerable activity in the development of People and Organisation Development’s emotional intelligence program, the LEIP™ workshop. Outside this initiative, People and Organisation Development can help your organisation to select and develop current and future leaders via our extensive experience in developing succession management strategies, coaching executives, and assisting with the assessment of executive potential.
