"Organisation doesn’t really accomplish anything, plans don't accomplish anything either, theories of management don’t much matter, endeavours succeed or fail because of the people involved.  Only by attracting and developing the best people will you accomplish great deeds."
Colin Powell

C-T-C are experienced in designing and facilitating both Assessment and Development Centres to ensure your organisation recruits and grows the right  people.

Assessment Centres:-  What attributes does your organisation look for when recruiting?

"A string of job descriptions, a recruit held yesterday seem to be more important  than who one is today, what she can contribute tomorrow or how well his values  mesh with those of the organisation.  You can train a bright willing novice in the  fundamentals of your business fairly readily but it is a lot harder to train someone  to have integrity, judgement, energy, balance and the drive to get things done.  Good leaders stack the deck in their favour in the recruitment phase."
Oren Harari, University of San Francisco

C-T-C bespoke Assessment Centres are driven by your company values, organisational culture, management style and key competencies for your potential  recruits.  We add in our objectivity and experience and the result of your investment is an employee who 'does' a good job rather than 'talks' a good job.

Development Centres:-  What is the best way to grow your employees?

At C-T-C we don’t favour the sheep dip approach.

Effective development requires a careful analysis of an employee’s current key skills, coupled with a bespoke agreement on what needs to be developed for the future and the best methodology to achieve this for each individual.  Development centres provide a transparent mechanism to benchmark, plan and deliver this outcome.

Harvesting the talent you have reaps more rewards than changing the crop.
