Best-Fit Deployment

Best-Fit Deployment

Challenge

Making the right choice in deploying talent is a tough challenge for a manager. All too often someone gets promoted into a position that is the right level, but the wrong fit in terms of skills and aptitude. Not only does the business suffer, but the person feels like a ‘square peg in a round hole’.

Solution

Lumiere enables managers to more effectively deploy the right people to the right roles. We use a powerful suite of talent and temperament recognition instruments to provide sharp insights into the aptitudes and attitudes of employees, factors that are difficult to recognize through observation alone with sufficient certainty, clarity, or depth. The tools can be used to:

• Ensure natural abilities are being used in the best way possible
• Identify high-potential candidates for given roles
• Determine the suitability of a candidate for a promotion or change in role.

Employees take an on-line survey, and an extensive report is generated with important feedback on eighteen business-relevant aptitudes and attitudes. An expert helps each participant and the manager better understand the reports, and recommendations are made, based on the information.

Benefits

The manager receives insightful information regarding individual strengths and potential development areas, as well as group dynamics. The results are presented graphically which helps give a vivid picture of the individual and/or team’s strengths and challenges. The manager can then make important decisions regarding how best to deploy his team members.
