Strategic & Pragmatic
Talent Management
Do all your managers and staff members have
the competencies required for today's organisation?
And for tomorrow's job content?
Can they handle their challenges
or are you constantly firefighting?
The most important capital of an organisation is
the talent of the people who work for and live in it.
Well-thought and structured management of talent makes all yield and grow.
Looking to the future, evolving, growing, learning; these are all terms that pose important challenges for both the individual manager and the business leader. But the slogan on the wall or the books on the shelf do not change anything.
My name is Rudy Vanheygen. I am an expert in Talent Management and a pragmatic consultant and coach in Learning & Development.
I help business leaders and HR managers who have questions about the competencies within their management, now and in the future. I do this with advice and support in the development and roll-out of an HR strategy and the required processes that align management and leadership competencies with the business strategy, culture and objectives .
On an individual level, I guide people who want to take an important step in their career towards or into a management position. I guide them in defining their talents and competencies, in identifying their ambitions and objectives and in composing their development and action plan.
With all this support and advice, business leaders and managers create a clear strategy and a transparent pragmatic workplan that put HR policy, talent management and competency development into a structured, future and goal-oriented evolution within the organisation.
Talent Management works at several levels.
Each of them is a building block
for a solid and flexible structure
allowing aligned and differentiated growth.
A Talent Management Strategy is your GPS towards success.
Competency Development is proteïne for growth.
Coaching and Mentoring ensure progress.
Being a Manager is a choice and can be learned.
Learning & Development Strategy
Which L&D strategy flows from the business strategy?
What development needs do you see in your company? How do you link L&D with other HR activities and objectives?
How do you create the right framework for development initiatives? How do you create and manage an L&D organization? Who is involved? What tools do you use?
I will guide you to all these questions and more to the appropriate answer and action plan.
Competency Assessment
Which competencies are generic throughout the company? Which ones are necessary or desirable for each specific position, now and in the future?
What talents and competencies do the employees and their managers have? How do you measure that? What can be learned and how? Who are the 'high potentials'?
In this crucial exercise I guide you to defined functional and social competencies; the raw material for structured talent management. You will discover its cooperation and enrichment for internal and external recruitment , promotions and transfers.
Management Career Coaching
- employees who want to become managers,
- new managers who want to grow,
- experienced managers who want to shift,
- managers who want to take a step back.
In career guidance, I help them gain insight into their talents, competencies and compatibility with their ambitions.
In situational coaching I help them to put the challenge in perspective and discover alternative approaches.
The right talent in the right place is the result.
Management Training
For new managers and experienced managers.
No grand theories but practical "how to" advice leads participants to an awareness of everyday mistakes and the opportunities to master the actions and attitudes of an empathetic and results-oriented manager.
Stepping up from ‘Manager’ to true ‘Leadership’ is not easy to all. It’s impact in the organisation is high however. The Leadership Development Programme can be run on an individual basis or for a group of people. It’s content and approach is customised to the organisation’s and people’s profiles, needs, values and objectives.
Pragmatic training increases efficient and effective practicing.
