"Deabadh can partner with you to deliver world class Global HR Consultancy, Business Transformation and HR Mergers & Acquistion."
The word Deabadh comes from the ancient Celtic sagas that are centred on Fionn and the Fianna (Warriors). A cycle of legends have gathered around Fionn and his men that were equally popular with the Gaels of both Ireland and Scotland. We read of their exploits in stories and poems preserved in the earliest Irish manuscripts.
Most of the Celtic sagas revolved around battles or hunts. The most famous chase of all is, however, not that of deer or boar but of a woman and a man. This is called Toraiocht (journey) of Diarmuid and Grainne.
The literal translation of Deabadh is urgency, sense of purpose, hurry, and in ancient Scottish-battle. Within the Toraiocht Deabadh is used to cover both urgency and sense of purpose, however, it is also means much more. A combination of excellent planning skills, strong negotiation skills, raw physical courage, the ability to come up with surprises that no one had envisaged (to think outside the box), intellectual rigour, pragmatism and an element of chutzpah - to use a non Irish expression.
All the above is inherent with Deabadh as a concept and a way of life.
In conjunction with our support of organisation change programmes Deabadh consulting offers a full range of support to the development of organisation and individual capability. Our consulting approach supports leaders in focusing on both current and future individual capabilities and organisation needs.
Capability Development: is about having the right people (skills, knowledge, behaviours), together with the right organisation (culture, structure, location of key people) supported by the right processes and enabled by technology to deliver the business strategy. Our consulting offering focuses on the organisation and people elements as well as HR processes and technology.
Capability development operates at many levels and frequently all at once: the organisation as a whole, teams and individuals. We can support you with a model for capability development along with supporting tools and techniques which operate at all three of these levels to identify and address present and future capability development needs, strengths and shortfalls.
We offer Leadership Team Facilitation and Development: either as part of an overall capability development or change project; or as a more one off activity associated with specific goals or challenges. This includes workshop and conference design and facilitation. We also facilitate in-company leadership learning groups – a novel approach to senior management learning and development which has the added benefit of allowing networking and on the job coaching and support.
Deabadh consulting runs a range of in-company training courses and workshops: Training will be designed to meet to the specific client needs and can blend or add topics as required. Topics include: leading transformation and change; working with transformation and change; flourishing in a project matrix; performance management and objective setting; strategic thinking and visioning; and creative thinking.
Effective Executive Coaching and Development: optimises the balance between support and challenge. In the absence of coaching people do not flourish and take risk; in the absence of development, people will miss the opportunity to excel. Development and change is a consequence of desire, vision and the confidence to act. Our executive coaching support focuses on executives who are successful within the current organisation and for whom the coaching is aimed at increasing impact and effectiveness.
Executive coaching is about one to one relationships and each client and organisation is unique with a unique set of challenges and coaching goals. The particular topics covered are always different and personal to the individual executive. Some key areas, however, that can be covered in our executive coaching support include: leadership style and effectiveness; managing people (directing, motivating, delegating, coaching and recognising); decision making; presentation skills for executives; personal efficiency for executives; communicating strategy and vision; self development.
Recruitment and recruitment effectiveness: is a critical capability for any successful organisation. Investment in terms of time, money and reputation is significant and the cost of error high. Looking at the cost of hire, estimates vary but a reasonable assumption is that it costs at least one years salary to hire someone. Looking at the costs of error you need to add together the costs of hire, the opportunity costs, the damage on morale on the rest of the team and the impact on productivity and output. If you get a strategic hire wrong, the cost for your organsiation is on average 15 times base salary. Most estimates confidently demonstrate that a strong performer makes a contribution that is three times that of a normal, fully acceptable performer.
Assessment and Development Centres: are an excellent opportunity for organisations to evaluate and develop their key talents. We see them as playing a key role in the whole arena of succession management, personal development and organisation capability development. We can support organisations in the design, development and implementation of Assessment and Development Centres. For participants these centres offer a unique opportunity for very direct personal feedback which will allow them to the undertake accurate development planning and enable focus on harnessing strengths at the same time as developing new skills. For Managers they clearly provide information for succession planning and individual development purposes, but additionally, especially when managers participate as evaluators, they provide new insights into their own leadership style and effectiveness thus reinforcing development and learning throughout the organisation.
Talent management: is a complex and costly challenge for organisations. Costly both in terms of investment spend and time, but also in terms of the cost of error; the cost of getting it wrong is very high and usually not apparent until much later. We offer a highly effective integrated talent management solution which optimises spend and ensures long term benefits. The exact approach varies from company to company but our approach spans recruitment through development to appointments and promotions. Many organisations invest time, effort and money in a wide range of talent management interventions (coaching, mentoring, training, succession planning etc) but fail to maximise the return due to insufficient integration and by not making best use of ‘everyday’ opportunities. At Deabadh consulting we believe that by combining the holistic with the pragmatic it is possible to integrate the elements in a company wide, and often global, approach, which in turn streamlines time and investment and improves impact and sustainability.
Succession Management: is an essential element of good people management practice. Our philosophy when assisting organisations with this aspect of their overall people strategy is that systems and structures are necessary if progress is to be made but these must service the business. They must be fit for purpose and not become an end point in themselves. The essential element of strong succession management is management judgement and the ability to identify key talent and then to take risks with their development. The succession management process should be designed to facilitate this. The key measure of a succession management system is the amount of change in the plan year on year and the number of appointments made off the plan.
Performance Management: is a broad field and covers all elements of individual development, coaching, mentoring, recognising and rewarding. An organisation needs to ensure that its performance management approach is effectively aligned to the organisation goals and that all aspects of performance management cascade from them. Deabadh consulting can support in the review of existing performance management systems and the set up of new ones.
Project and Matrix Management: are essential requirements of working today. They require a different skill set from the more traditional organisation and management mindset but when effectively integrated into the organisation can lead to considerable benefits. Our consulting support ranges from awareness and skill building workshops through to supporting the development and implementation of a new project management system and the necessary training and development to ensure its success.
Ensuring the organisation, its management and all the people understand and embrace required and ongoing change is a key executive role in all successful organisations. Deabadh consulting can support your organisation in the leadership of change through the provision of models, tools, techniques and training that help to make this goal a reality.
Change is an unavoidable element of all of our lives, and the ability to seize the opportunities it provides underpins the success of all organisations. All change is personal. It is not enough for employees to simply survive change; people need to flourish in an ever changing environment if they are to realise their potential and thus contribute to organisation success: this requires courageous leadership. This Leadership must be underpinned by good strategies, techniques and approaches: Deabadh consulting offers change consulting which supports leaders, management and employees in embracing change and with providing the leadership to bring about and sustain essential change. We offer a systematic approach which releases creativity and individual potential thus allowing individuals and the organisations they comprise to strive for and achieve ever more ambitious goals.
Change is a function of: a shared vision of the future or some first practical steps or indeed dissatisfaction with the present. Each of these elements is key and needs to be fully leveraged to bring about change. Change leadership is about tirelessly working on each of these elements. Change leadership is also about ensuring all the people in the organisation understand change and its personal and organisational impact; and have the capabilities and confidence to flourish in the necessarily changing environment of our business today.
Communications and employee engagement are two key elements of all change programmes and projects. Our consultants build communication and engagement strategies and detailed planning into all our projects – we see this as crucial to both their successful implementation and sustainability. In addition we are able to provide consulting on communication and engagement strategy development and implementation. We also run workshops for staff and managers and one to one coaching for senior executives in the area of communication, impact and presentations. These can be particularly valuable in multi-cultural, multi-language environments but work just as well in single culture, single language environments.
Deabadh consulting is founded on a clear belief that great firms need great people and great leadership. Both must be supported by proactive, supportive and challenging human resources leadership plus aligned human resources policies and infrastructure. Indeed we believe that it is these things that make the difference between an organisation being simply successful and truly excellent.
Thus one of our key consultancy services is to work with you to position the best support for ongoing growth and development needs of your organisation, its leaders and all the people.
We believe passionately in first class human resources. When working with you, a key focus is first to instill the confidence and belief that this is possible. We also offer a range of tools and techniques to enable you to fulfil your potential and thus make a significant contribution to the success of the organisation.
Our consulting approach is developed in conjunction with you. Deabadh has a passion for effective human resources departments and we have considerable experience in their transformation. Ensuring transformations result in highly valued functions which are able to make a positive impact on your organisation, maintain strong cost controls and significantly reduce the organisation's dependency on external consultants.
