Board Development
Michael Greenspan discusses Kiddy's approach
We have worked with the executive committees and top teams of many of the world's largest companies, as well as many mid-sized businesses. We combine the skills of a leading managment consultancy with those of a business psychologist.
Clients look to us for challenging, commercially robust support in making their senior teams and organisations more effective.
When we work with a team we concentrate on the practical aspects of team effectiveness, focussing on priorities, processes and people . We:
- Assess and benchmark the team compared to leading teams in other businesses
- Ensure the team's strategic/tactical balance is right
- Ensure clarity and alignment of priorities
- Ensure the team's meetings and processes are highly effective
We also attend to the 'softer' issues (although unlike our competitors we don't start with these). We:
- Ensure constructive team dynamics
- Act as a 'sounding board' for the team leader
- Help the team achieve commercial synergies from knowing each other - and each others' issues - well enough
We also build teams across a client's business with a core, common approach that is adapted to meet each team's specific needs. In addition, clients often ask us to help build the team development skills of their HR professionals.
‘Kiddy's work with our UK Board has been invaluable’
