Our Thoughts & Ideas
An Approach to Developing Effective Leadership in Business
For businesses to thrive, they need leaders and leadership teams that can navigate marketplace challenges and opportunities. Overcoming problems, finding innovative solutions, and being proactive in the market become daily tasks for those in positions of leadership. So, how can businesses ensure their leaders are suited to getting the job done? There are essentially two parts to this question: the first is about selecting the right kinds of people for the organisation and role; the second is about helping those people to perform and develop. Here at Edgecumbe, we’re driven [...]
What Is People Analytics and Why Is It So Important for Business Growth?
People analytics is the data-driven practice of analysing employees and the people within and around an organisation, to better understand them and help executive teams make better decisions. People analytics is focused on trying to find answers to business issues by combining both qualitative and quantitative research methods, to gain powerful insights that leaders and managers can utilise to implement changes within an organisation. It is more than simply research methods and techniques - instead, it is an approach to business that values the importance of a happy and thriving [...]
Preparing Leaders and Managers for International Expansion
What could be better for an organisation than to grab the chance for international expansion? A passport to growth. Reaching the promised land of endless opportunities. Why not?

Working Together As One
Our Specialist Health Sector Services
Edgecumbe Health specialises in creating sustained performance improvement for individual doctors, clinical teams and senior levels of healthcare management.
Edgecumbe Doctor 360 was the first multisource feedback instrument for doctors, and it is still leading the way. Its superior measurement properties mean doctors need fewer responses from colleagues and patients to produce a valid assessment, saving valuable clinician time. In addition, the resulting data is ‘cleaner’ than that from the standard GMC questionnaire which most providers offer, enabling insights from the data which simply cannot be achieved from ‘noisier’ data. We can offer the GMC tool, but the 50 NHS Trusts we currently support have all opted for the Edgecumbe Doctor 360.
