Executive Assessment

As a leader you are being measured on your ability to fulfil the vision of your company. Finding out if your team has the right capabilities to deliver against what has been envisaged is critical.
The Phillips Group prepares a 360-degree review on any identified candidate. The Phillips Group believes in holistic knowledge and rigorous preparation.
The Phillips Group 360-degree review is performed through a series of face-to-face interviews with one of The Phillips Group senior consultants and its client’s prospective talent. The assessment is bespoke and made to fit its client’s business case, the current economic environment, the organisational vision, and company strategy. Once these elements are defined, The Phillips Group then creates a custom-made assessment of two parts; the consultant assessment, and self-assessment of the executive.
The self-assessment:
The Phillips Group consultant will send the prospective talent a self-assessment form to complete. The Phillips Group consultant will then go through the form with the candidate to identify any gaps or problem areas. Once the self-assessment is complete The Phillips Group Consultant will move on to the face-to-face assessment.
The consultant assessment:
During the face-to-face assessment the candidate will be examined across a range of both technical and soft competencies which are required for the role the candidate will be performing. In addition, the candidate’s direct reports will be interviewed. Therefore, if a senior manager has seven direct reports the consultant will complete over nine hours of interviews which includes one hour of self-assessment review, one hour of one-on-one interview and one hour with each direct report, at a minimum. The interviews can often run up to two hours.
A full report is delivered on each candidate who is assessed through a 360-degree review, gaps are identified and possible development actions are suggested.
The Phillips Group’s performance management system is based on identity and vision. Clients’ employees must identify with the brand and have a vision of growing with the company, before any other meaningful performance management can take place. The Phillips Group performance management system is based on the personal vision and identity of the employee and who they want to become over the next five to ten years. This peak performance can only occur once there is an affinity between an individual’s vision and the vision of their company.
The Phillips Group framework is set on two core dimensions; Personal Goals and Professional Goals. These are set over a five-year period, and then a one-year period. While performance management is executed in the tactical realm, peak performance is achieved through the intangible realm. It is the adhesion of two narratives aligning as one; the identity of your staff and the identity of your brand.
The system encourages the employee to set one-year goals in line with where they want to be five years from now. Then quarterly goals are set for both personal and professional, and then monthly, and weekly. These are grafted onto the company milestones and organisational objectives.
Employees in this system set their own goals and targets within the framework of the business needs. Rather than the business setting high level goals and working backwards, hoping organisational goals resonate with staff, the staff set their own goals and form a bottom-up approach. This provides the leadership with visibility on who will transition out of the business versus who is committed to stay for the long run.
Finally, goals are forged with a time budget highlighting the number of minutes and hours it will take to accomplish each goal. This capstones The Phillips Group’s process giving the employee a clear actionable plan they can execute on a daily basis.
As a leader you are being measured on your ability to fulfil the vision of your company. Finding out if your team has the right capabilities to deliver against what has been envisaged is critical. The Phillips Group executive assessment program is conducted through a series of face-to-face interviews, case studies, peer reviews and psychometric tests. The Phillips Group consultants provide a clear dashboard of elements for its clients, providing data on who has the capabilities to fulfil the vision of your company as well as identifying who is committed to your vision and who is not.
This dashboard can be used as one of the tools to help ensure your leadership team is engaged and to course correct those team members who are not. From testing technical skills to soft items such as cultural fit, The Phillips Group process will cover everything you need to know in order to drive your team to peak performance. Finding out if your senior team is upskilled for the future and moving in the same direction can mean the difference between beating the competition or getting left behind.
