At Atticus we are accountable for the performance of our consultants and for each consultant placement we shall typically conduct the following:

  • An Atticus Director will meet with the consultant and the client on initiation of the project to ensure that the scope of work and objectives are clearly defined and feasible.

  • Regular "Stop and Think" checkpoints with key stakeholders throughout the project lifecycle and the dedicated involvement of an Atticus Director. This ensures that deliverables are clearly understood and that any changes in project scope are managed effectively.Our clients often benefit from an external view when difficult issues are encountered.

 

Training & Facilitation

In any desired performance improvement goal or technology project it is often the softer human issues that hold organisations back and stop the full benefits being realised.

At Atticus we specialise in helping you to create outstanding leaders and high performance teams that are aligned, engaged and importantly well trained for not only the technical challenges they will face, but also those of team and business leadership/management.

We use cutting edge tools and techniques to help teams and individuals realise their true potential. We can also help you get out of the culture of 'meetings grid lock' by introducing innovative structure and discipline about meeting and workshop planning and facilitating the more complex and important sessions for you. The cost of bringing your key people together is always going to be high so why not set the sessions up for success by using our experienced planning and facilitation team?

Within the Insurance market we have regularly provided psychological profiling, 360 feedback, executive coaching, team audits and conference/workshop design and facilitation.

In addition, we also scope, design and deliver systems training courses in support of your core or market systems that can be tailored to your company and employees needs.
