About Horizons
On average only 29% of your high performers are likely to successfully move into critical leadership roles.
Therefore, identifying and developing emerging leadership talent who have the ability, ambition and belief in your organisation is vital to maintain your talent pipeline.
As a Talent Specialist the challenges I faced were how to:
- identify who are the 29%?
- ensure that the business leaders have the faith to assign them to critical roles?
- balance developing high performing talent with the capabilities and competencies that they will need, whilst continuing their important day jobs?
- simultaneously develop the commercial skills and personal skills required in leadership?
- get the best ROI by joining up all the various development options available into one seamless experience?
- ensure that the managers and their developing talent feel equally engaged in the process?
- deliver a cost effective global solution?
- build in business improvement along the way?
Simply put, I couldn’t find what I wanted and so I set about bringing a team of external specialists together that could deliver a tailored seamless global solution.
It was a great success and with the support and encouragement of my organisation I went on to set up my own company, Horizons Talent.
Over the last five years our clients report worldwide retention of 80% of their talent pool with 100% successfully placed in significantly broader roles enabling business growth and succession planning needs are recognised. Managers compete for places for their people on our programmes and leadership involvement is significant.
Horizons Talent specialises in partnering with organisations to deliver short and long term tailored solutions for identifying, developing and retaining high potential talent.
Our seamless approach and learning experiences are unique and we see unprecedented results.
