Top Talent
Successful leaders know that their employees are their greatest asset. Who are the people who hold the keys to the future of your organization?
Your Top Talent! They are ready to open new doors for your company’s future. Your High Potentials hold the greatest promise for accelerated growth and development.
Case Study
The challenge – Improve employee engagement, collaboration and innovation
A global supply chain organization found that low employee engagement and poor morale were adversely affecting collaboration and business results. They asked Aviv Consulting to:
1) develop a “change strategy” to improve engagement and collaboration, and build trust; and
2) foster innovative practices to strengthen productivity and competitiveness.

What we did
We engaged the senior team in a series of workshops to sculpt the organizational values and vision, and improve communication and cohesion within the team. We then developed a proprietary ‘train the trainer’ program and licensed it to the organization.
Results
A dramatic increase in employee engagement, significant improvement in effectiveness, and accelerated problem solving enabled the organization to exceed its business objectives in the next three years.
High Potentials consist of two top talent groups:
- The non-management high-potentials are promising individuals with relatively little work or career experience who stand out in their abilities, talents and commitment. (Blue Belt)
- The management high-potentials are individuals who have broad and lengthy experience and are in line to join the senior leadership team. (Silver Belt)
These two groups hold the keys to your growth. Unlock their potential and they drive your organization’s performance to new heights. Companies focused on creating a legacy of success invest in their future leaders and key employees. By nurturing these employees, the organization is able to:
- Retain top talent
- Create management and leadership depth
- Cultivate a network of high achievers
- Focus on the company’s needs and future vision
- Promote a culture of initiatives, innovation and high collaboration
Since Blue Belt 1 I have thought everyday about my purpose and how I can better apply it at work. It has had a tangible effect on who I am at work and the results I have been able to achieve. I think it would be a great benefit if everyone at HP ultimately takes this course. Blue Belt 2 has been an exciting and gratifying experience. I’ve learnt how to better communicate, which I will certainly apply. The value of the planning exercises cannot be over stated. It has been nothing less than life-altering.

Silver Belt development program of high potentials
Our Silver Belt program has the greatest impact when conducted as a series of retreat-style offsite meetings. Additional modules included in the silver belt program are:
Module 8: Influence for results – learn and apply the four modes of influencing
Module 9: The three pillars of trust – create a culture based on mutual respect and trust
Module 10: Leading through coaching – optimize every effort, resource and task
Module 11: Template for greatness – unleash the 3 propulsions of all great companies

A very unique teaching methodology. The interaction and immediate application of the teachings left me with the guidance and tools I need to begin delivering on this course immediately in all areas of my life. To be able to accomplish that in a 3½ day retreat is a testament to this curriculum.
