The aim of this joint venture is to provide state-of-the-art support, insight and development to displaced Executives in order to prepare you for future roles in sustainable success within organisations.
Research indicates that competition for high-end Executive roles has never been stronger, and therefore having the right support, preparation and development will enable you to acquire one of these roles.
Leadership Capability & Success
OPIC brings to the partnership 25 years of experience in undertaking Executive assessments and Executive coaching.
That research has led to a unique Leadership Capability Framework, which will inform you of all aspects of the career management program on offer.
Candidates will be put through an Executive assessment process that will help us evaluate your strengths and any potential areas for improvement as a potential future Executive.
This part of Executive intervention will provide you with:
1. A clear understanding of what differentiates Senior Management and Management roles.
2. A clear understanding of your leadership style and how this style measures with particular roles such as:
- Marketing Executive roles.
- Operational Executive roles.
- Sales Executive roles.
- General Management roles.
- Specialist roles such as HR, IT and Finance.
Each of these roles have different capability requirements, and understanding your alignment with these roles is crucial.
3. Through this program we will provide you with an understanding of how to sell your strengths and how to develop the key capabilities that predict success in Executive roles.
4. It will also provide you with a clear differentiation and explanation of the behaviours and activities that help you achieve further promotion once you have reached Executive level.
This last point is particularly salient, because the difference between a Senior Management role and a true Executive role can be much as a $250,000 per annum.
This leap is often the most difficult to achieve and certainly the most difficult to sustain. There are clear behavioural and capability differences between Senior Management and Executive roles, and the OPIC Executive Capability Framework provides aspiring Executives with this training and learning.
Counselling Support
One of the most difficult aspects of being in the process of searching for a new role or dealing with the consequences of having moved on from a great role is the emotional toll it takes.
The Ellis King and OPIC partnership utilises trained and legally registered psychologists who are experts in the consequence of job loss and dealing with the emotional frustration and distress of a job search.
In addition to higher level expertise in Executive search, job search, interview and resume preparation, as well as the insights and support in developing Executive capability – our partnership provides direct counselling support by highly trained and registered psychologists.
As such this unique offering provides candidates with the highest level professional support in dealing with the difficulties of job search and Executive activities.
Ellis King and OPIC fully understand the strains, challenges and the potential joys and benefits of a rewarding and successful career, particularly at the most senior of levels.
The skills and support required to understand one’s self, understand the market, make the preparations for gaining the ideal job and then sustaining the role and being successful, whilst having the highest level emotional and professional support, is our unique offering.
The projected difference between successful higher level careers and those that stagnate at the mid-levels is in the millions of dollars. Getting the best support and the best professional advice can make that much difference to your life.
