How we work
Catapult believe that every client engagement should lead to lasting, measurable, performance improvement – and that what we do collectively should result in significant benefit to both the individual and the company. To measure that improvement, and to keep developing skills, we like to gather data so that all parties can establish and agree the “current condition” and the transition path to acquiring new skills or developing existing ones. By getting everyone’s “buy in” ….the person (or team), the manager, the company, the coach……we deliver high success rates – because everyone is informed, engaged and committed to achieving and recognising the end goal. Simply put, you wouldn’t get in a car without first establishing your destination and the journey in between.
What are you measuring?
Catapult can either work with a clients’ existing competencies assessment tool or use an innovative “Values” based approach via our strategic partnership with AxiaMetrics (www.axiametrics.co.uk) with whom we are Master Practioners and are the preferred supplier in the UK.
Axia adds substantial insight to competency assessment and measurement because it establishes the values of the individual (or team) and it is these values which, in turn, drive our behaviours – so Axia establishes our “core” personality resulting in analysis which is entirely objective, science-based and highly accurate. Whilst innovative to the UK, Axia is used extensively in the USA by companies including IBM, Merrill Lynch and NASA – all Catapult Coaches are accredited in using the system to form the basis of the Coaching programme. Psychometric profiling tools and 360 can still be used within an integrated Catapult solution but in the context of being more of a tactical tool to be used for specific tasks…such as recruitment or performance reviews.
