Through purposeful executive capability assessment and development, we accelerate individual and team performance.
The Future Leadership Assessment team offers executive insights to support succession, performance and transition. Our programs take a team focus, increasing insight, agility and connectivity among the executive leaders. We help organisations shape the positive culture and engagement they seek with people, customers and other stakeholders.
Higher employee income
Companies that offer comprehensive training have 218% higher income per employee and a 24% higher profit margin than companies that don’t provide training. To put that number into context, the average profit margin is 10% and a 20% profit margin is considered high (New Horizons, 2021).
Development important for retention
A study from the Society of Human Resource Management (SHRM) found that more than 8 in 10 HR managers believe training is beneficial to attract (83%) and retain (86%) talent. And 48% of employees agree that training opportunities were a factor in choosing their current company (SHRM, 2022).
Development ROI
The MIT Sloan School of Management found that an employer’s year-long soft skills training program led to a roughly 250% return on investment within eight months (MIT, 2018).
Global GDP uplift
According to a 2021 report from the World Economic Forum and PwC, upskilling could boost global GDP by $6.5 trillion by 2030 (WEF, 2021).
Selection assessment should feel collaborative; done ‘with’ not done ‘to’.
Capability assessment is an exploration of the leader’s capability at a point in time. We use psychological assessment tools to accompany a search process and guide clients on best practices while remaining tool-agnostic. We debrief all candidates interviewed as part of a search process, regardless of their success in that process.
Our leadership capability and development assessment programs apply to individuals, teams, and organisations.
When we partner holistically to integrate assessment into larger leadership development programs, we find the internal HR and talent acquisition leaders have the space to focus on more strategic objectives. Partners may choose to engage our advisory specialists for the full end-to-end assessment and development service or select only the specialist elements required.
Team Accelerator Program
Our customised approach curates capability and psychometric assessments to evaluate and develop leadership skills. The service includes personalised reports, one-on-one coaching, and a variety of diagnostic tools such as Emotional Quotient Inventory (EQI), Influencing Styles Indicator, and Hardiness Resilience Gauge. These tools assess emotional intelligence, personality patterns, resilience, and influencing styles, providing comprehensive insights to enhance leadership effectiveness and organisational alignment.
Selection Assessment
Our leadership selection program leverages customised capability and psychometric assessments to identify high-potential leadeers. It includes comprehensive evaluations using tools such as the Saville Wave Professional Styles Personality Profile and the Hogan 360 Assessment among others. These assessments provide detailed insights to support informed decision-making in leadership selection, ensuring candidates possess the essential qualities and skills for effective leadership within the organisation.
Succession and Development Program
A tailored evaluation process designed to identify the strengths, weaknesses, and developmental requirements of leaders. It involves a series of assessments and feedback mechanisms that analyse key leadership competencies, emotional intelligence, personality traits, and resilience. The insights gained from this assessment help create personalised succession and development plans to enhance leadership effectiveness and address specific growth areas, ensuring both leaders and organisations are well-equipped for the future.
Future Capabilities based on 25 years of international research findings and framework development, scientifically founded in the Human Capability Standards, and underpinned by Hogan psychometrics.
The Future Leadership Capability Framework is a capabilities-based assessment capturing the requisite acquired skills, tactical knowledge, learned behaviours, personal attributes and pervasive mindsets required for high-performing leaders in a rapidly transforming world. The strategic leadership capability tool is underpinned by validated Hogan psychometric assessments. The mapping enables us to match the emergent operating environment to the capabilities sought in leadership teams.
The future belongs to a new breed of leaders.
We draw on our understanding of individual and organisational contexts, and our psychological and cultural expertise to identify who individual leaders are at their core; their values, their drivers, the circumstances in which they will likely excel, and their potential derailers. We consider every future leader in the context of their career, where they have come from and where they are heading in their personal and work lives.
Our solutions extend to an offer to stay in the room for the most critical moments.

What do our clients say about our strong validity and clear path for positive, developmental feedback?
I want to express a huge thanks for everything that you’ve done for me over the years. I think you were one of the first people to teach me about the art and science (and mostly the humanity) of leadership and to give me confidence in my own abilities. I enjoy our conversations so much and deeply value the inspiration, guidance and support that you have provided.
This was a great exercise and added a lot of value to the program. One recommendation could be to combine this with the C-Suite exercise to assess how candidates perform under real stressors. I didn’t attend the debrief session but heard positive feedback from my classmates. I would highly recommend that this is run repeatedly with MBA candidates and even as part of the core (mandatory program). It should be a selling point of the MBA that this exercise is conducted.
Highly valuable session for independently validating my own insights on how I perceive myself as well as where I feel I need improvements.
The assessment team was highly organized, kept to time and clearly had given a lot of forethought into how to structure the activities. The reports given were very clear and reflected my own thoughts very well - actually the areas identified for improvement matched very well with my own reflections and development plans, suggesting this is indeed an appropriate direction.
Highly recommended for future students and a huge compliment on top of our leadership subject. I would almost go as far to say as recommending to make this opt-out rather than opt-in, particularly to encourage students who would not naturally want to undertake a "stressful" experience without being pushed into it.
The information session, the actual assessment day, and the debriefing session for this were an extremely worthwhile experience. The CLA/Future Leadership team were extremely knowledgeable and professional, I enjoyed the sessions, and I received some invaluable feedback from it. I would definitely recommend this to all students.
