Leadership Development: The Process
01
Needs Analysis
This is the data and information gathering phase. Oftentimes, this includes some combination of interviews with decision-makers, reviewing existing employee surveys, and/or conversations with the intended audience. During the needs analysis phase, the business goals and measures of success are set and agreed upon.
02
Design Proposal
The design proposal defines the overall approach and will be presented to the client for feedback and approval. It will include a clear definition of the audience, the recommended interventions, and a project plan (including timeline, milestones, and project roles and responsibilities).
03
Content Development
All materials and assets needed to implement the leadership development intervention will be created. The client has multiple opportunities to review and provide feedback on the content.
04
Implementation and Evaluation
During this phase, the intervention will be implemented and success will be evaluated against the success measures identified upfront.
