Witt/Kieffer provides a rich portfolio of additional customized services to enhance our clients’ existing talent management programs. They include onboarding, executive talent assessments, executive transitioning and succession management.
Onboarding
Effective onboarding of a new executive accelerates job productivity and team effectiveness, addresses potential derailers, prevents rapid turnover and, most importantly, gives the new leader the greatest likelihood of lasting success. We offer a customized, client-specific approach to onboarding designed to augment an organization’s current onboarding process.
We focus on four critical areas: understanding your organization, enhancing the new leader’s self- awareness, building her/his network and accelerating the time-to-full- productivity.
Executive Talent Assessments
We conduct customized in-depth assessment options to provide clients a clear picture of current and prospective leaders’ strengths, derailers and development priorities. Services include assessment, strategic talent reviews and individual development planning.
Executive Transitioning
Witt/Kieffer consultants provide assessment and executive coaching services to help executives assimilate into new roles quickly and effectively. Services include assessment, transition consulting, transition integration and executive coaching.
Succession Management
Building a leadership pipeline is one of the most important ways an organization ensures leadership continuity and safeguards its mission, vision and future success. Witt/Kieffer helps clients identify key executive leadership positions and develop talented executives within the organization to take on these roles. It is a comprehensive plan to identify leaders who have the greatest potential for growth and to assess their readiness to grow. Clients use our succession management services to:
- Identify key executive leadership positions.
- Identify competencies, skills and success factors of leadership.
- Assess current bench strength.
- Design and implement career development strategies.
- Monitor and evaluate succession management strategies.
