HGI News and Editorial

To answer those questions one needs to determine what an organization, or individual, is looking to achieve in the three areas, and how HGI with its TKS approach provides “value add”.

By way of example, in recruiting to an executive position, an organization needs to,

• define the real demands of the role
• specify the experience and competencies that are really relevant to the role, and
• have a clear understanding of the experience and traits the appointee would need, to complement his/her peer group or team 
• they are to manage and be a “fit” with the organizations culture and values.
  

From the potential applications perspective, when they are approached by an executive search consultant working on an organizations behalf, they must feel confident that the consultant is able to accurately reflect what it is that the organization is looking for, and then provide an honest assessment on why the applicant, position and organizations would be an appropriate fit.

The “value add” that HGI provides to both parties in this example comes from,

• the knowledge that it has of the health market place in general,
• organizations and the key people in them in particular,
• the understanding the search consultants have through them having been senior executives in health services across Australasia,
• the trusting relationships that have been established between the parties over many years, and
• the success factors as articulated by both organizations and individuals.

And “TKS” - where does that fit? It’s in the uniqueness of the HGI model, in that it has a presence, and an ability to remain relevant in response to systems, organizations and individuals through its work in Search, Sets and Coaching.

The ethics practiced by HGI and its consultants ensure that personal integrity and respect for confidentiality are paramount- they are foundations on which the business is built, and has enabled it to maintain positive relationships over many years.

It still allows though for the ability to pool knowledge, and use this to advantage individuals and organizations in not only the executive recruitment example but in those other areas including professional development and executive placement. It is an integrated approach, that has been so successful in many areas of business including transport and wholesaling.

HGI is at the forefront of demonstrating how successfully it can also be utilised in organizational and workforce management.
