1. Improve Hiring Accuracy and Reduce Turnover

Challenge:
A UK-based non-profit needed to appoint a senior leader who could balance innovation with strong interpersonal skills. These qualities were critical to addressing organisational skill gaps and driving cultural change.

Solution:
Final candidates completed Hogan’s HPI, HDS, and MVPI assessments. Insights were shared with the hiring panel through detailed reports and a verbal debrief. The chosen candidate received two follow-up development sessions to set actionable goals for success in the new role.

Outcome:
The board reported unprecedented confidence in their decision, citing Hogan’s ability to highlight potential incompatibilities and long-term risks. This approach significantly reduced the likelihood of costly turnover and ensured cultural alignment.

2. Develop Emotionally Intelligent, Self-Aware Leaders

Challenge:
An experienced Investment Director struggled with workload prioritisation, relationship management, and emotional control—issues impacting leadership effectiveness.

Solution:
Using Hogan assessments, a targeted executive coaching programme was designed. Sessions explored personality-driven challenges, such as perfectionism (high Diligent), low social confidence (low Ambition), and emotional volatility (high Excitable). Strategies included prioritisation techniques, micro-interactions for relationship building, and mindfulness for emotional regulation.

Outcome:
The director improved delegation, strengthened team relationships, and enhanced emotional control. Increased self-awareness and emotional intelligence boosted leadership presence and influence across the organisation.

3. Build Cohesive, High-Performing Teams

Challenge:
A corporate sales team within a global retail brand faced high turnover and lacked clarity on vision and accountability following significant organisational change.

Solution:
Hogan’s team model aggregated individual HPI, HDS, and MVPI profiles to reveal shared values, team strengths, and derailers. A facilitated workshop focused on aligning purpose, clarifying roles, and addressing derailers such as impulsivity and overconfidence.

Outcome:
The team committed to a six-month action plan, improving collaboration and accountability. Recognising shared motivators and derailers helped reduce conflict and foster a more productive, cohesive team culture.

4. Identify and Prepare Future-Ready Talent

Challenge:
A global media organisation wanted to strengthen its leadership pipeline by developing 65 high-potential employees for executive roles.

Solution:
Participants completed Hogan’s full suite of assessments and received individual coaching sessions using the Hogan High Potential report. Group-level analysis identified common strengths and gaps, informing a tailored development programme.

Outcome:
Participants gained strategic self-awareness and created actionable plans to leverage strengths and address derailers. Insights shaped an additional learning module on influence and persuasion, accelerating readiness for senior roles.

5. Support Career Transitions and Executive Onboarding

Challenge:
A newly appointed law firm partner sought to achieve better work-life balance and manage anxiety linked to new responsibilities.

Solution:
Non-directive coaching, informed by Hogan personality data, helped the partner explore self-critical tendencies and delegation challenges. Strategies included reframing irrational worries, building trust through mentoring, and sustaining emotional balance.

Outcome:
The partner reported improved confidence, stronger team relationships, and practical techniques for managing stress. Hogan insights provided a framework for understanding personality-driven behaviours during transition.
