Executive search, interim management and leadership advisory organisation, Adastrum Consulting, today launches its new 90-day accelerator programme, which helps organisations to rapidly unlock the value of new senior hires.
Developed in response to a fast paced and disruptive marketplace, the accelerator aims to quickly integrate new senior hires into an organisation, allowing them to swiftly deliver the value identified in the recruitment process.
During the 90-day accelerator, an external coach will work with senior appointees, offering independence and confidentiality. Whilst internal support is always valued, there will be limitations to any conversation in those critical days, whilst openness and trust is being established.
The process has also been designed to closely align with business priorities and includes key stakeholder engagement, allowing the insights of the business to be channelled into the process, enriching the conversation.
Chris Underwood, Managing Director at Adastrum Consulting comments:
“Just taking the traditional approach of finding and placing good candidates is no longer enough. Now more than ever, new appointments need to be able to very quickly integrate and align themselves with their new organisation, to swiftly deliver value. This is why we have worked with industry leading coaches to develop this programme.
“Working one to one with a specialist coach, the accelerator creates the space to deeply reflect, not always easy when you are mentally and often physically run from one session to another. It also enables deeper objectivity, as well as structuring thoughts and plans into a compelling vision that can be cascaded clearly, gaining support and alignment across the business.
“Being a senior leader is sometimes a lonely place, being the new person compounds this especially in the first 90 days. Having someone in your corner whose sole purpose is to support you to be your best, drives value and returns for all.”
