Predictive Role Profiling for High Performing Executive Teams

About PROPHET

PROPHET is a validated psychometric designed to help senior teams to fast track business performance. It is

also designed for HR and L&D partners to work with business leaders to shape the implementation of

strategy. It has been created in order to encourage leaders to examine the relationship dynamics within their

team and thereby maximise team effectiveness.

When to use PROPHET?

As soon as a new team has formed, profile each member and debrief their PROPHET Profiles, first individually

and then as a group. Typical trigger points for using PROPHET are when a new leader comes into the team,

when the team has reformed or when a step change in performance is required, such as a shift in strategy,

post-investment or as part of a merger or joint venture.

Why would I use PROPHET for the senior population?

PROPHET is unanimously well received by senior teams, as it is written from an entirely business perspective

and is highly intuitive, without being overly simplistic.

It is quick to complete, straight forward to debrief and provides immediate insight for teams. It is described

as “the most commercial and pragmatic solution that builds relationships within the senior team” by the

Global HR Director of a UK Plc. It influences important decisions which add immediate commercial value.

How to use PROPHET?

PROPHET can be used: • In team meetings: To help build relationships and the awareness of how to leverage strengths within

senior teams • At off-sites and strategy days: As a key part of the agenda to develop insight into how to implement

strategy effectively • At conferences: As the team development part of the agenda, to create energy and give insight into large

groups of people about dynamics and culture • As part of the talent lifecycle: Post-recruitment to prepare for on-boarding and as an integral part of

development and talent initiatives HR, L&D, OE and Talent professionals can become accredited through a two day programme that helps the participants run engaging individual and team debriefs. We also offer a full support programme for accredited users, including insight reports, facilitation support and a range of development initiatives.

Becoming an accredited user of PROPHET PROPHET accreditation enables HR teams to contribute strategic and analytical value to their senior stakeholders. It enables participants to use PROPHET’s analysis tool to consult with their business leaders on the implementation of strategy, given the preference of the people within and outside of the team. PROPHET accreditation is relevant for individuals who are likely to work with a number of senior teams within their businesses. Alternatively, it is possible for one of the experienced consultants from PROPHET Profiling to support you in running debriefs and team sessions.

PROPHET Profiling services – Helping leaders implement strategy through high performing teams For nearly two decades we have run development initiatives, advising major international companies and Private Equity backed businesses on developing key business relationship skills and developing high performing teams. PROPHET’s core service has four phases, which can be run as a programme or selected individually. The four phases are:

Phase 1: Senior Team Effectiveness Session – we profile each individual and run a highly engaging and insightful team session, based around a group insight report. This is designed to be run by the lead team of an organisation, business unit or function. This is particularly relevant for teams embarking on a new strategy or coming together for the first time. Further group sessions or a development programme may be requested.

Phase 2: Engaging the Wider Team – we profile the senior population within that business or department and run events at the annual conference or strategy launch to build collective insight and engagement. This insight is revisited with the HR sponsor and the senior team to help shape the implementation of the strategy.

Phase 3: Team by Team Cascade – we work with each of the senior team members to help them use the PROPHET insights to develop high performance and embed the new strategy.

Phase 4: Critical Skills Development – subject to identified needs, we run development courses in key areas of relationships, such as business partnering and developing high performing teams.
