Accelerant staff have worked on many assignments over the years building their consultancy capability. Here are a few of the most recent examples.

Service Offering: Talent Management Consultancy

This well- known multinational non-food FMCG company had reviewed its pool of talent as part of a benchmarking and succession planning exercise. The net result being the need to address a number of resourcing issues namely a need to reduce its rate of attrition and the need to raise the calibre of its team by attracting higher potential employees.

A programme of activity was actioned which included;

• A workshop with senior managers to determine a Talent brief/ Talent template.
• A number of key personnel assessed against the template for their capability.
• A major internal perception survey to determine the views of the current employees.
• Analysis of a number of FMCG organisations as a potential pool for future hires.

The internal perception survey and subsequent creation of a steering group to action highlighted improvements has had a profound effect upon company morale. A common understanding of what is a ‘high achiever’ has been agreed upon and a number of talented individuals operating in the business have been identified and their capabilities recognised. Finally a pool of potential candidates have been identified for future recruitment needs.

A project was commissioned by the Organisation’s MD to review and propose a new performance review process. After meeting all the members of the team to discuss current key performance measures and having reviewed the Operational Business Plan a new Performance Model was written by Accelerant and put into place within the week. It incorporated both a set of KPIs and a process for capturing the data from each assignment but also a competency matrix giving the team valuable insight into how to demonstrate over-performance in their role which would result in moving closer to gaining promotion.
