Leadership frameworks, succession, talent reviews, development programmes and coaching are more powerful when they reinforce the same idea of what the organisation needs from its leaders. MJA helps clients connect those pieces.
Leadership and talent infrastructure often develops over time: a framework here, a programme there, succession through one process and development through another.
We reconnect the pieces around a simpler question: what leadership capability will the business need — and how will people develop it?
Depending on the challenge, the work might include leadership expectations, differentiated levels, critical-role and succession architecture, talent and development pathways, high-potential experiences, transitions, assessment, coaching, mentoring, rotations, academies or leadership institutes.
The aim is not more infrastructure. It is greater clarity about what matters and how the organisation will develop it.
We normally begin with strategy, talent priorities, existing frameworks, leader interviews, current programmes and the moments where leadership capability matters most.
We then create an organising logic and test it with the people who will use it. That keeps the architecture grounded in the organisation rather than in somebody else’s competency model.
SAP — the Talent Engine, levelled Leadership Development Framework, transitions, Team Effectiveness, executive development and the emerging Leadership Institute increasingly operate as one connected system.
Gilead Sciences — leadership levels, talent architecture, pathways and the Executive Transition Guide were developed as parts of a coherent system.
Delphi Technologies — leadership capabilities were designed to inform acquisition, performance, learning, progression and reward.
IAG — a shared leadership language supported succession, development and movement across a federation of distinctive businesses.
