Financial Services Organization

A major worldwide financial services and consulting organization had spent a considerable amount of time redesigning a number of its core in-house training programs for its senior staff.

To help enhance the experience for participants and to get them thinking about the general course content ahead of the program, individuals utilized one of four profiles on-line. These included Personal effectiveness, Coaching effectiveness, communication effectiveness and creativity effectiveness.

Each individual was given the option to complete either a self-only report, a 180-degree assessment (self plus supervisor) or a full 360-degree assessment.

Early results have indicated that participants gain considerable personal insight into their skills and behavioral preferences before each relevant training program and are thus able to use the workshop to explore topics and themes of the most interest to them. Course leaders can also obtain aggregated results of participant responses to help shape the course experience or give greater emphasis to the topics of greatest collective need and interest.
