Our company is a quickly evolving global organization in the healthcare sector and is led from Japan. In order to let our European leaders reflect on their opportunities and challenges, we contacted Accord Group, which was applying Valpeo methodology, to provide leaders with new insights into the process of aligning with the Japanese HQ, the European affiliates, and each other."

Valpeo's frameworks make difficult organizational concepts such as 'culture' and 'values' tangible. Our leaders will now find it easier to understand and accept the differences within Fujirebio, which will help us work together within a shared strategy and identity.

"We've recently used the Valpeo assessment to select the right candidate for a Business Unit Management role. Besides the relevant experience that was required for this role we were specifically looking for a cultural fit and the ability to bring this Business Unit to the next level in a continuously changing context. Valpeo does not only give a detailed view on the personality of the candidate but also on the personal values and motives and most importantly on the mental processing capability. This gave us a good understanding of the expected value, in terms of mental processing capability, this candidate would bring to the team and the company. Bringing this to the surface is what makes Valpeo unique in my view. For companies that want to select beyond the experience, motives and personality check, I definitely would recommend Valpeo."

Being able to understand people's values is very helpful when trying to make sense of where someone's career could be headed,

The same applies to their ability to handle complexity: our company's future is agile, and our future leaders will have to be able to handle the challenges that agility brings. One of the participants in our Global Leadership Programme has already taken up a senior leadership role, so we are on the right track to discovering and developing new talent. Valpeo has helped us to make sure that future Global Leadership Programmes are equally effective.

Most headhunters focus on the past: they look at what you already have achieved, and what experiences you have developed up until now. Valpeo helps you to look ahead: what will you be capable of achieving in 5 years from now, 10 years... It's a completely different experience to meet a consultant and learn about your potential future! I was impressed by the outcome of the questionnaires, as well as by the enjoyable, interesting discussion and the accuracy and details that were brought up. Especially the future-oriented approach is very innovative, and offers the opportunity to listen and learn about your possibilities.
