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:

The talent within your organisation is the heartbeat of bringing your strategy to life. Our evidence-based design thinking expertise harmonises talent and organisational effectiveness by weaving desired culture, company values, and defined competencies into succession planning and build-or-buy strategies. This holistic, behavioural science-led approach uncovers actionable insights that inspire sustainable growth through your talent.

What sets NewlandRock apart is our independent program design and holistic approach. We create immersive, high-touch experiences that link leadership theory and principles to practical applications aligned to your organisation's goals. By leveraging decades of expertise in behavioural science and commercial business leadership, along with insights and methods from top thought leaders and experts, NewlandRock solutions are agile and transformative, delivering significant business impact.

We know Change is Constant in Thriving Organisations

This ever-evolving organisational landscape places pressure on leaders to adapt, embrace new opportunities and pioneer a fresh perspective. This is combined with remaining composed, focused and dynamic to lead change at pace.

Incorporating a leadership assessment strategy is an evidence-based lever to ensure you accelerate through change successfully. It means needing a nimble and forward-thinking approach which is multi-faceted to ensure your leaders are ready to take on their next challenge.

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

A leadership assessment strategy is crucial for the growth of your organisation

Our objective is to ensure that every insight contributes to meaningful results. We evaluate individual leaders and executive teams to provide organisations with vital insights into enhancing executive performance, refining leadership effectiveness, and nurturing culture for the next generation of leaders to drive forward.
