By working with individuals to help them to determine where their strengths lie, and also where development opportunities might be, Answers Consulting helps the individual recognize and own their development.
In a process of working one to one, the individual is challenged to grow by trying out new ways of working, in a way that suits the work they are currently doing. This allows the individual to develop a range of skills and abilities that will serve them well beyond their current role, as well as increasing their confidence in their own ability.
The benefits to organizations can be huge, as having just a few key managers in an organization develop in this way can mean exceptional changes in the productivity, motivation and efficiency of the organization, as well as improvements in customer service and profitability.
The benefits to the individual are also impressive. Improvements in relationships with supervisors, direct reports, peers, teams and clients have all been reported, together with increases in job satisfaction and organizational commitment.
This sort of work is defined through a specially tailored programme for each individual. For an example of this type of programme, see the section on pricing.
