Valuing scientific principles and informed by both world class research and practical experience we will solve the complicated and tricky people problems that get in the way of brilliant organisational performance.
It's a coin toss whether most training and development delivers ROI, Why? Because it's a sticking plaster, it's off the peg and does not reflect the current reality in the organisation, or delegates have a nice few days away from work and are then dropped straight back into the grind with no support. North Star is building itself around effective behavioural change, from the research and evidence base to the practical delivery. It's only worth doing if it delivers results.
In an unregulated industry with some practitioners drawing on evidence and research and others drawing on a one-day training course before awarding themselves the title of 'master coach' it's no wonder coaching has its sceptics. To be a North Star coach will require membership of the International Coach Federation (ICF) - the gold standard when it comes to coaching accreditation. No pseudoscience or flaky ideas, just skill and conversations that unlock new possibilities.
Sometimes training and development is not the answer, or the whole answer. Organisations are complex and organisational change and improvement is even more so. Looking at overall performance, moving beyond the limits of learning and development North Star will draw on some of the best disruptive and creative consultants, hard to label but able to tackle multi-faceted situations with clarity and simplicity.
North Star represents the idea of a multidisciplinary team of consultants, drawing on a breadth of expertise, supporting businesses and organisations to thrive through their people.
Increasingly complex, uncertain and challenging organisational contexts require clear insight. Firstly, to understand what is happening and why. Secondly, to design and implement context-specific solutions. Thirdly, to evaluate the effectiveness of the actions taken and to fine-tune in response to the evolving situation. This is the simple but effective North Star approach to delivering results.
Committed to honourable business practices, empiricism, and evidence-based methods, much like the North Star that travellers have looked to for centuries to gain their bearings and set direction, our goal is simple, to lead the way…
