Leadership Advisory Services

A good leadership team knows its role and responsibilities and focuses on its priorities.

Leadership Team must have a comprehensive overview of the business, a good grasp of its own role, well-functioning dynamics and a clear common goal. It should have diversity, with each member complementing the others so that the whole is more than the sum of the parts.

No two Leadership Teams are alike, and the best teams are customized to ensure effective implementation of the strategy of a specific organisation. Our approach enables to evaluate and enhance Leadership Teams' performance to meet the needs of success-oriented organisations.

1. Individual leadership assessments

We evaluate individual leaders' business capabilities through in-depth interviews, and their leadership qualifications using multi-method assessment tools. Our assessment methods include e.g. IMS 360° Leadership Assessment, SHL Occupational Personality Questionnaire (OPQ), WorkPlace BigFive, Hogan assessment & Leadership Judgement Indicator (LJI).

Examples of our assessment methods:

The Leadership Development Audit (LDA)

The Leadership Development Audit (LDA) is a multimethod assessment that can include both individual leadership team member's assessment and Leadership team's working and team audit (as described further below). In the individual assessments we utilize globally validated leadership style and work personality and 360-degree leadership assessments. Additionally, the evaluation always includes a personal feedback/validation and coaching discussion.

With the Leadership Development Audit (LDA), IMS Talent can assess a person's leadership capabilities and inherent roles, not only based on personal characteristics but also from the perspective of business acumen and strategic expertise. IMS Talent’s consultants have themselves served on leadership teams and have developed executive teamwork both within their own organizations and as external experts.

The Leadership Development Audit (LDA) can be adjusted to the Client’s needs and the Client may choose, which assessment methods are the most suitable for their needs.
