Determining succession strength through leadership assessment

Their challenge:

DCC Group has acquisition at the heart of its growth strategy and operates a very federalised business model. How could the business get a more rounded view of the leadership group (below the MD levels), to enable succession planning and leadership development in a focused, cost effective manner?

Our solution:

We conducted detailed briefing sessions for the leaders and the MDs (their line managers) so that all aspects of the process were explained and explored – including concerns around possible negative outcomes. We have taken almost 100 leaders through an in-depth assessment comprising 360, psychometrics, a three hour interview with two consultants, 1:1 feedback and a three way discussion with their MD to embed the feedback into the workplace.
