Human performance

Maximise potential

The domain that decides whether an organisation’s best people build a career here, or build one somewhere else. Seven capabilities make up this area.

7 capabilities

Seven capabilities that matter

Why each one matters, what good looks like, and what we look at when we help.

1

Performance management

Without a real process, both excellence and underperformance go unaddressed.

What good looks like

Consistently applied cycle with clear standards, feedback and follow-through.

What we look at

Appraisal records, completion rates, calibration data

2

Career and mobility

Talented employees who see no path forward will find one elsewhere.

What good looks like

Visible internal pathways, actively communicated to employees.

What we look at

Pathway documentation, mobility data, survey feedback

3

Succession

One resignation from a crisis, without a plan for key roles.

What good looks like

Documented plans for critical roles with named or developing successors.

What we look at

Succession plans, readiness assessments, bench-strength reporting

4

High-potential talent

Without identifying high performers, the organisation risks losing them first.

What good looks like

Defined process for identifying and developing high-potential employees.

What we look at

Identification criteria, development plans, retention tracking

5

Manager and leadership development

Specialists are promoted on technical expertise, not management training, leaving a real gap.

What good looks like

Structured leadership development for anyone managing people.

What we look at

Programme data, participation rates, capability assessments

6

Learning and development

Without ongoing investment, performance and retention both stagnate.

What good looks like

Coherent offer aligned to organisational priorities and individual growth.

What we look at

Programme catalogue, participation data, needs analysis

7

L&D effectiveness and investment

Unevaluated training spend cannot show whether it built capability.

What good looks like

Investment tracked and evaluated against defined outcomes.

What we look at

Spend data, evaluation frameworks, outcome tracking
