NewlandRock Assessment Solutions

Introducing NewlandRock

We typically work with three groups of clients:

1. Leaders in transition:

We assist decision-making executives at a pivotal point in their leadership, offering 1:1 assessment and coaching to enhance their effectiveness and impact through change, growth and complexity.

2. Leadership teams transitioning to their next level of impact:

We blend personal, professional, and organisational aspirations into interconnected, forward-focused, immersive, high-performing team interventions. We assess and coach teams to achieve their strategic goals, improve trust, gain alignment, and develop a more robust cascading culture.

3. Organisations that must future-proof themselves with the right talent strategy:

Our evidence-based design thinking and succession planning methodology provides an objective and actionable approach to identify leadership potential, readiness and fit. This process offers clear development direction and inputs valid and reliable evidence into your succession planning. It helps you create a build-or-buy approach to achieve your organisation-wide strategic objectives.

Our Programme Design Process

DISCOVERY

The discovery session clarifies your key objectives and your unique context. Each solution is different and understanding what is critical and the impact you want to have will truly differentiate the effectiveness of the whole process.

DESIGN

What is being developed? Design confirms the critical success factors that are specific to the context of the leadership solution. This step forms the anchor of the programme itself. Miss it and the ‘so what’ impact is lost.

ASSESS

The behavioural science-based approaches utilised in our programs provide valuable insights, arming leaders with the knowledge and skills needed to accelerate success. The specific solution employed varies based on the desired outcome.

VALIDATE

The selected solution may involve various psychometric assessments and input from key stakeholders. These additional insights reinforce the outcome and further validate the findings from our initial discovery discussion.

FEEDBACK

The results of our programs offer you in-depth information to help you make confident decisions centered around talent. We provide detailed insights, recommendations, and feedback through a comprehensive report and debriefing session to ensure alignment and determine next steps. We are your partners in this process.

Our Core Expertise

Our comprehensive approach to executive assessment employs multiple methods to provide science-based, data-driven insights about an individual’s ability to perform, fit and make an enduring impact in a critical leadership role.

Our development-focused assessments provide objective, actionable information about individuals to identify leadership potential. A powerful process that provides clear development direction, inputs valid and reliable evidence into your succession planning and a build or buy strategy.

The types of assessments offered by NewlandRock depend on the target outcome. A light touch, objective view to get a sense of immediate fit, to a deep dive perspective to explore the full potential and next step development.

Our process provides a complete picture of candidates’ relevant business and functional expertise, marketplace and industry knowledge, leadership abilities, character and motivation, cultural fit and capacity to grow and change with the job.

We evaluate individual leaders and executive teams to provide organisations with pivotal insights aimed at enhancing individual executive performance, refining leadership effectiveness, and nurturing the forthcoming generation of leaders and their teams.

Sample Success Profile

With a high-touch co-created approach, our executive assessment work often starts with defining a success profile for your critical roles. We capture insights and priorities from key stakeholders to generate unified success profiles for critical roles. This foundational blueprint is essential to ensure all perspectives are considered. Our expert lens defines the essential components and creates alignment regarding what success looks like for a role. By leveraging decades of expertise and insights, incorporating the latest organisational talent trends, our success profiles empower you to build an exceptional leadership profile primed for strategic success.
