We pride ourselves on our attention to detail and depth of experience, which we bring to each and every one of our projects. Change and transformation management is a structured approach to shifting and transitioning individuals, teams, and organisations from a current state to a desired future state. It is an organisational process aimed at helping employees to accept and embrace changes in their current business environment. We have implemented change and transformation programmes for a large number of our clients. Our programmes are based on solid research and methodology, which are tailored to meet your specific change requirements. Our approach to Coaching is based on the principles of Coaching Psychology and is aimed at enhancing performance in both work and personal life domains. Whoever you are, whatever your age, whatever the situation or problem which you are facing, we believe that coaching may help you to focus on developing and achieving successful solutions. One to one bespoke coaching provides practical support, challenging and encouraging the individual to be totally clear about what they want, why they want it and then to assist in developing clear goals. A coach will support you every step of the way, ensuring that they are committed to take action. We also are able to coach teams or assist managers in developing their own coaching and mentoring skills. We believe that organisational performance and acceptance of change can be improved through effective communication and innovative people strategies. We can design communication strategies, approaches and plans that assist the organisation in providing employees with vital information while inspiring and calling people to action. We have found that both customers and employees respond best to engaging and meaningful messages. Communication is also an integral part to the success of our change programmes. We help individuals of every background and age group who are seriously interested in analysing their current career situation with total honesty and confidentiality, with an objective, non-judgmental, highly-qualified professional. As a result of this, they get 'stuck' and find it easier to remain where they are or start to move forward only to stall at the first hurdle. In order to address and rectify this problem, we have our Career Coaching Programme which focuses on work and career, or resolving issues around careers. We can assist organisations in designing assessments and interventions to review and then address possible areas of improvement. Our consulting services are aimed at supporting organisations in achieving their strategic objectives through designing organisational structures and jobs in a collaborative and integrated approach. We do this through a rigorous people focused organisation design approach, which includes consideration of team and individual performance, selection and retention of staff, designing appropriate training strategies and approaches, as well as crafting implementation plans. MileStone is committed to the use of best practice in selection and development assessments. We are discerning about the tests we use, drawing only on those that have been developed through sound research processes. At MileStone we are committed to Giving Back to our community through probono services spent in support of our client's social responsibility initiatives.
