Course Overview

Data on professional interview processes is abundant; insight about it is not. People decide what this aspect of people management and development really means by watching who gets promoted. Participants gain a realistic view of what this area of people management and development costs and what it returns. Every module pairs a short input on professional interview processes with structured practice on the participant's own material. Field experience suggests that the barrier to better this strand of people management and development is rarely technical. The material serves both public bodies and commercial organisations dealing with this part of people management and development. It concentrates on the parts of professional interview processes that determine outcomes and treats the rest proportionately. What blocks progress on the wider people management and development agenda is usually unclear ownership rather than unclear intent. Participants leave with a first-ninety-days plan for this area of people management and development rather than a set of notes.
