Everything we do at great{with}talent begins with measurement. Assessments, referencing, onboarding, engagement, 360s, exit interviews — twenty years of evidence about how people actually experience work.

Our consulting is the expert layer around that data. We help senior leaders make sense of what the numbers are telling them, decide what to do about it, and get it done.

We work with CPOs, HRDs, CEOs and Boards. The common thread is that our advice is grounded in evidence you can see, not frameworks we’ve imported from somewhere else.

How we work with you

Advisory retainer

Ongoing counsel for CPOs and HRDs who want a senior, independent voice on call. Regular conversations, a second opinion when you need one, and someone who already knows your organisation when things move quickly.

Diagnostic engagements

Time-boxed pieces of work that start with a specific question — usually one the data has raised or failed to answer. We go in, find out, and come back with something you can act on.

Executive services

Senior candidate evaluation against your success profile, leadership team effectiveness work, and LastOpinion Executive Exit — structured exit conversations with departing executives, commissioned by Boards, PE and VC sponsors who want to know what their outgoing leaders really think.

Bespoke design and research

Competency frameworks, 360 architecture, success profiles, culture measurement, pulse design. The measurement instrument built properly for your organisation, not adapted from someone else’s.

The questions clients bring us

A few recent examples:
  • “Our engagement scores look fine. Why does it feel like something’s wrong?”
  • “We’re losing people we can’t afford to lose. Why?”
  • “Is our leadership bench ready for what’s coming?”
  • “This candidate looks strong on paper. Are they?”
  • “The regulator wants evidence our culture is sound. Have we got it?”
  • “Our 360 isn’t landing. What’s wrong with it?”
  • “We’ve just acquired a business. What have we actually bought, people-wise?”
  • “We’ve rewritten the competency framework. Does it hold up?”

What are you chewing on?

Independence


We’re privately owned. No channel partners, no referral fees, no consulting arm of a bigger thing. The senior people do the senior work.
