Talent management programmes
New Directions has experience of designing and running in-company programmes that help to develop talent within the organisation. Typical programmes involve the integration of a number of different development activities including Assessment / Development Centres, 360 Feedback, In-house and External Assignments, Classroom Sessions, Workshops, Coaching and Mentoring, Action Learning, Masterclasses, Project Work and Simulations. These are put together to provide a programme specific to the needs of the organisation and level of talent - whether it is developing first tier managers, middle management or senior leaders. The coordinated planning and integration of programmes in an organisation ensures an effective pipeline of talent that meets the organisation development needs of the company.

New Directions has contributed to programmes run for Borealis, Philips, NXP Semiconductors, Gulf Oil International, NAAFI, BT, RJR-Nabisco, Chevron and BP.
