“75% of newly hired executives are having
trouble with interpersonal skills (the ability to
build relationships, collaborate, and influence
others).
A troubling finding of the study is that many of
these executives had both strong technical
skills and years of previous management
experience and yet they fell short in the
interpersonal area.”
~(American Society for Training &
Development 2011)

High Impact Onboarding
Renewal™ World Class
+ Executive Onboarding
Program.

1.Discovery Step: Conduct interviews about existing/desired
states of transition, and collect additional skills and profile data
on the new leader, direct reports, peers, internal and external
customers, and Hiring Manager/ stakeholders.
2. Determination Step: Analyzes all discovery information
and drafts an initial onboarding plan based on the 7 phases of
Renewal™ containing basic and customized activities and tools
for the new exec and his organization appropriate.
3. Design Step: After review, revision, and approval of the
draft by the client, a final documented onboarding plan is
designed and delivered to the client.
4. Dialog Step: We act as facilitator between the new leader
and his/her direct reports, peer group, and/or senior manager
for a 1 day series of meetings about the roles, expectations,
relationships, and optimum environments to achieve a high-
performing new hire and team.
5. Development Step: Execution of all the activities in the
designed onboarding plan plus the accountability governance
to ensure the investment in a process like this provides a
positive return and measureable results. The client will play an
integral part in who in the organization has a stake in the
success and productivity of the new hire.
The first three steps take place even before the new
leader’s first onsite day.
