The product in action - a case study
The Need
To establish career plans for individuals that were no longer required within their existing roles.
What we did
John France and Eric Thompson worked with the individuals to complete an audit of their skills, their values and their aspirations, with a view to identifying the job families and the specific roles that might suit the individuals in the future. Once the individual had confirmed the direction that they wished their career to go in, John and Eric worked with the individuals to establish a plan to help them to achieve that outcome.

How the client benefited
Individuals able to take stock of their career and identify the type of role that would suit them in the future.
The process provides fresh motivation for the individual at a time when their career was seen to have stalled.
Company achieves either an individual who is refocused on a job role that is required and valued within the company, or alternately an individual that is happy to leave to achieve their independent career goals.
The company built on the previous investment in the development of the individuals rather than discarding and starting afresh.
