A consulting partnership offers an opportunity to work with Human Resources and Senior Leaders to examine business goals as to their alignment or gaps with internal talent management practices. With this partnership, we can share marketplace trends, understand internal practices, learn about previous and current initiatives, and define desired outcomes. It's also an opportunity to establish measurements and develop a system for accountability to support your talent initiative. Instructional design services may also be needed to customize workshops or other learning experiences. This is best done in tandem with an internal design team.

Career Systems International partners with and trains more than 30 professional consultants worldwide. Experts in the areas of talent management, including engagement, retention, development, and mentoring, they can work with you to identify organizational support and establish sponsorship and resources.

The best interventions include the client and a representative team to consider possible strategies, tactics, roles, and responsibilities, and to jointly map out a plan with specific steps that best serve the desired outcomes.

Consulting services can be delivered on-site, via telephone, webcast, or a combination of any of these approaches.

Managers who participate in Career Systems' workshops gain an overall perspective on how to engage, retain, and coach the development of their talent. Employees learn how to take control of their careers and drive their own growth and satisfaction. ALL leave with processes to follow and a plan of what actions they will take.

Follow-up coaching can assist managers in individualizing the learnings for each of their direct reports, debriefing their first employee conversation (development or engagement), and surfacing additional ways to strengthen their own leadership techniques.

Employees too can benefit from coaching services, particularly when involved in an on-line learning experience or working in peer groups.

Career Systems International can help sustain the momentum with expert coaching services which can be delivered in a variety of settings and methods, including:

	PowerCoaching as a virtual learning debrief, supporting distance-learning, before, during, and/or after the workshop experience.
	One-on-One Coaching for either Managers and/or Employees: Provides additional support immediately following the learning experience, as preparation for and/or debriefing the first employee conversation, to prepare for future conversations, and strengthen the skills as leader/coach/individual contributor.
	Triad/Group Coaching to extend the learnings, adapted to meet the organization's needs, either on-site or utilizing available technology.
	Webcasts or podcasts to provide additional information to sustain the learning and share best practices.
	e-Coaching, using the Internet as the key communications tool.
