Overview of Methodology

Empower Your Workforce with Tailored Development Solutions.

Mindmill’s comprehensive methodology for staff and team development is designed to assist clients in enhancing their workforce’s capabilities and ensuring long-term success. By following a structured approach, Mindmill helps organisations identify and address development needs, leading to a more skilled, engaged, and productive workforce.

The Mindmill Development Process

Here’s how the methodology works and the benefits it brings

Values and Competency Framework

Understanding Client Values
The first step is to understand the client’s core values. This foundational step ensures that all subsequent actions align with the organisation’s culture and strategic goals. By embedding these values into the development process, the outcomes are not only effective but also resonate with the company’s ethos.

Reviewing and Classifying Competency Framework
Next, the client’s competency framework is reviewed and classified, or if necessary, created, separating objective and subjective competencies. This step is crucial for identifying the specific skills and behaviours required for various roles within the organisation. Competencies are fine-tuned by distinguishing between those that are scientifically measurable and those assessed through 360 reviews. By applying the appropriate assessment methodology, the necessary data is collected to create tailored development plans that effectively address both objective and subjective competencies.

Job Analysis

Job Analysis and Assessment Methodologies

A thorough job analysis is conducted and assessment methodologies are applied to understand the demands of each role. This analysis helps in creating accurate job descriptions and identifying the key competencies needed for success. By understanding the intricacies of each role, targeted development initiatives can be designed to address specific needs.

Organisational Structure

Reviewing Organisational Chart and Role Types

Reviewing the organisational chart and role types allows for mapping out the structure of the organisation and understanding the relationships and similarities between different roles. This step is essential for identifying potential career paths and opportunities for internal mobility. By having a clear picture of the organisational structure, development plans can be designed to support career progression and succession planning.

Personalised Development Plans

Outcome Reports and Development Plans

Following the assessments, detailed outcome reports and development plans are generated for each employee. These reports highlight strengths, areas for improvement, and specific actions to enhance performance. The development plans are tailored to individual needs, ensuring that each employee receives the support and training required to excel in their role.

Executive Coaching-Style Feedback Sessions

Executive coaching-style feedback sessions are offered to provide personalised guidance and support. These sessions help employees understand their assessment results and development plans, and offer strategies for improvement. By providing one-on-one coaching, employees feel supported and motivated to achieve their development goals.
