What Matters To Us
Our Thoughts & Ideas
An Introduction to the Hogan Assessments
As part of our recruitment assessment for high-stake senior hires, we conduct Candidate Insights to help reduce uncertainty in the recruitment process. This helps identify aspects of the individual’s personality and approach at work that may need to be explored thoroughly in order to understand the candidate better and mitigate certain kinds of recruitment risk. This ensures you can hire with confidence, knowing new senior positions will be filled by the right people. The insights revealed from such assessments give recruiters a vivid illustration of the traits, attitudes and behaviours most [...]
Benefits of Executive Coaching – The Importance of Coaching at Every Level
The quest for continual learning and development is one that sets apart good leaders from great leaders. Developing, refining, and improving skills isn’t something just for those starting out on their career path, rather it is something that benefits everyone, including those who have reached the very top of an organisation. Leadership assessments and executive coaching are integral tools in creating powerful leadership teams within an organisation. Having the humility to appreciate there is always more to learn and improve is something that all leaders should aspire to. But in [...]
Leadership and the Rise of Virtual Teams – How Great Leaders Can Adapt to New Workplace Trends
The rise of virtual teams has gone from an outlier trend to a genuine and successful organisational structure. Big corporations as well as small independents are reaping the rewards of leveraging a remote, and often global, workforce. Technology has created huge opportunities for businesses to leverage skills and talent, wherever they may be. But leading teams in a complex, remote, and global environment is no easy task.

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.
