Home › Leadership & Talent Advisory
We help CEOs and CHROs build the leadership teams and talent systems that deliver their strategy.
Our talent management consulting covers the whole journey: defining the roles and skills your strategy needs, finding the gaps and hiring to fill them, building successors for critical roles, aligning the leadership team, shaping the culture, and leading the people function when you need us to. Each service stands alone, and each connects to the others.
Define what good looks like in every role: role descriptions, functional skills and the behaviours that lead to success, built with your managers.
84 role descriptions and 95 functional skills for a 500-person manufacturer.
Find where capability falls short, close the gaps that matter, and hire new people against the same standard.
98% of new hires retained at a manufacturer after the hiring process was rebuilt.
Identify critical roles, assess successors on evidence, and build a bench that is ready when the business needs it.
6 of 12 internal candidates promoted at India’s largest NBFC, twice the target.
Get the senior team behind one vision and strategy, and keep it there as the business changes.
Four businesses in one financial group over seven years; a series of five offsites with one leadership team.
Measure the culture you have, define the one your strategy needs, and build it into how people are hired, led and rewarded.
Satisfaction up from 73% to 94% and attrition down from 18% to 7% for a 5,000-person capability centre.
Senior people leadership, part-time, when you are integrating, scaling or between HR leaders.
Leadership teams stable across eight airports within 11 months; workforce scaled from 121 to 3,479.
“Our roles and skills were never properly defined.”
“We spend on training but the gaps do not close”, or “we are about to hire at scale.”
“If a key leader left tomorrow, nobody is ready.”
“Our leadership team is not pulling in one direction.”
“Ownership or our model has changed, and the culture has not.”
“We need senior HR leadership now, but not a full-time CHRO.”
Many clients start with one service and add others as the need becomes clear. Roles and skills defined through competency mapping become the standard for gap assessment and hiring. The same standard shows who is ready to succeed into critical roles. Alignment and culture work make sure the leadership team and the organisation are pulling the same way. And where the people function needs senior leadership in the meantime, a fractional CHRO holds it together.
That is why our talent consulting is run by one team, with one view of your organisation, rather than by separate specialists who never meet.
We work with large Indian groups, multinationals and global capability centres: CEOs, CHROs and boards facing growth, integration, new ownership or a leadership transition.
Our clients span financial services, airports and infrastructure, retail, consumer goods, manufacturing and business services. Many have worked with us on more than one service, starting with one problem and returning as the next one appears, because the work builds on what we already know about their organisation.
Executive coaching, leadership assessment and leadership programmes that prepare senior leaders for bigger roles, using the same competencies and readiness standards as our advisory work.
CXO and board search in India and the UAE, with assessment before every offer and six months of transition support after it, so new leaders settle and stay.
Tell us what your organisation is facing. We will help you work out where to start, and which of our services would make the most difference, for organisations across India and the UAE.
Talent management consulting helps an organisation define, find, develop and keep the people its strategy depends on. Ours covers roles and skills, hiring, succession, leadership alignment, culture and senior HR leadership.
Yes, and most clients do. Each service stands alone, and because one team runs them all, a later service builds on what the earlier one found rather than starting again.
Both. Most engagements are sponsored by the CEO or CHRO, and run with business leaders, managers and the HR team together.
We are a boutique team: the people who design your engagement are the people who deliver it, and every engagement is shaped around your organisation rather than a standard product.
Yes. We work with organisations across India from Bengaluru and across the Gulf from Dubai.
