Through a structured succession planning process, the S3 process will reveal the knowledge, skills, and abilities of high-potential candidates, which prepares them for advancement or promotion. S3 systematically guides client companies through a thoroughly documented process with facilitators, trainers, and coaches. Both organizational and individual work plans are followed to ensure talent gaps are identified and leadership development results in a healthy, productive, and profitable way.

In partnership with Potentia.works, Solutions At Work announces the release of S3 Strategic Talent Solutions, a new business program. This program blends human resources acumen with experienced talent development methods to create focused talent management strategies. This three-phased program focuses on discovery, assessment, and needs analysis, as well as the development of future leaders for company growth and succession sustainability. 

Today, business leaders continue to face significant challenges finding clarity, direction, and balance amid the COVID pandemic and its related economic impact. And, managing remote teams during times of uncertainty can be extremely difficult and stressful, especially when team communication, performance, and productivity is more crucial than ever. But, without advanced and innovative tools, training and guidance, leaders will lose the ability to build strong organizations unless they can creatively lead cohesive, high-functioning teams. There are tools; however, that can enhance the strengths and skills of leaders and their teams.

Utilizing Assessments for Hiring Part 2. In the previous post, it was noted in a survey by the Society for Human Resource Management, that it is estimated that “18% of companies use psychometric testing in the hiring process. This is expected to increase by 10-15% per year.” HR professionals need to be prepared to apply digital hiring tools for effective interviewing, evaluation, job matching, and onboarding.

How will the hiring process look in the years ahead? We have learned that new virtual tools and processes are required for both recruiters and candidates in the remote and hybrid work environments in the future.

Navigating entrepreneurship or small business ownership can be tricky when you begin, but the more you learn the ropes for your new profession, the more you will enjoy making changes and implementing new practices that will help your business succeed. Potentia.works invites you to consider the following advice to keep your business thriving and relevant in the coming seasons.

How to Thrive Now and into the Future. In the last blog article from February 26, 2021, I asked “How important is it for business leaders to get it right in 2021?”. Surprising statistics were noted on how little confidence senior business leaders have in their rising leaders according to Deloitte surveys.

86% of business leaders agree that success hinges on their rising leaders...but only 13% have confidence in their rising leaders.

The success of any organization rises and falls on its leadership. We all know too well: “As the leaders go, so goes the company.” It’s only when leaders invest in the right priorities, while keeping those priorities in the correct order, that true potential can be reached. The Prioritized Leader Suite is a customizable, scalable, and practical means for developing rising leaders.

I'm honored to be selected as a Preferred Partner of the Year with Turnkey Coaching and Development Solutions. It's flattering to be among such an accomplished set of professional leadership consultants and coaches across our continent.
