The Challenge

ACCENT wanted to enhance their existing succession planning and leadership development process.

It’s easy to identify people who are good at their jobs, but our true challenge was identifying people who are ready for leadership roles.

ACCENT chose SIGMA to help them identify high potentials to fill their leadership pipeline and promote leadership development and growth.

The Solution

SIGMA’s team of experts delivered a custom 3-stage solution built around the Leadership Skills Path.

  1. Define Success: SIGMA used the Leadership Skills Benchmark to identify the leadership competencies most important for success in leadership positions at ACCENT.
  2. Evaluate Potential: The Leadership Skills Profile - Selection Report measured candidate potential for leadership roles using the core competencies. Results identified top potential for inclusion in the talent development program.
  3. Develop Talent: The Leadership Skills Profile - Development Report gave candidates a development action plan for building on the competencies necessary for leadership roles.

The Results

SIGMA helped ACCENT choose the right people for their talent development program by:

  • Testing both internal and external candidates against benchmarks for multiple leadership positions.
  • Delivering client-driven, custom selection and development reports to identify top potential.

SIGMA is an integral component in all of ACCENT's talent development initiatives.

The results from the LSP really helped us understand the strengths and development opportunities of our in-house (and external) talent and how these aligned with the required competencies needed for success in our various leadership positions. We now feel like we have the right talent in the right places and we also have a good understanding of where we need to focus our training efforts.
