Our Thoughts & Ideas
Business Psychology and Leadership – Edgecumbe Consulting
One aspect of business psychology is the study and practice of improving working life. It can help leverage an understanding of human behaviour within the context of business and the workplace. In turn this can help create effective individual and organisational performance. In business psychology we use research methods to analyse and report on the needs of everyone within an organisation and help to identify potential challenges facing the workforce and wider organisation. As a result staff can feel better engaged and understood which in turn can help organisational performance. [...]
The Power of Emotional Intelligence (EQ) – Why EQ is Important in Business
Emotional Quotient (EQ), often referred to as “Emotional Intelligence,” is a defining factor in shaping the success of individuals and businesses. It is regarded as having a strong correlation in relation to an individual’s performance within a business, and is hugely influential in how that individual sees themselves and others. But if it can be a good indication of an individual’s ability to lead and contribute to teams within a business, why is it ignored by many organisations? Emotional Intelligence has often been overshadowed by the widely used and accredited [...]
Psychometric Testing – How to Use Psychometric Tests in Business
Psychometric tests are used in business to help identify an individual’s personality, behaviour, skills and competency. This helps provide useful insights for hiring new candidates, identifying and monitoring team dynamics as well as monitoring internal employees for potential organisational movement or individual promotions.

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.
