A talent management consultancy assesses how an organisation attracts, develops, and retains its people, then designs practical frameworks (competency models, succession plans, performance standards) that make those processes consistent and effective. Chrysalis does this through a maturity assessment first, so recommendations are built around your actual priorities rather than a generic template.
Engagement length depends on scope. A focused piece of work, such as refining a single competency framework or running one assessment, can be delivered in a matter of weeks.
A comprehensive engagement typically unfolds over several months to around a year, covering the maturity assessment, framework design, piloting, and organisation-wide rollout. Leadership Development programmes run to fixed timescales of their own, from the 3-month Leadership Sustained programme up to the 9-month Leadership Unlocked coaching journey. Timelines are always scoped together during the discovery call, based on what you’re looking to achieve.
Chrysalis works with organisations of different sizes, and the approach is built to flex to fit. For smaller or growing organisations, that might mean a single, focused piece of work, such as a competency framework for one team. For larger organisations, it can mean a fuller talent management transformation spanning multiple functions. Every engagement starts with a Talent Management Maturity Assessment or discovery conversation, so the scope and pace are shaped around your organisation rather than a fixed enterprise-only model.
Leadership Unlocked is the flagship 9-month 1:1 coaching programme; The Leadership Collective is an 8-month group programme for past Leadership Unlocked participants; Leadership Sustained is a shorter 3-month follow-on for continued 1:1 support.
Yes. In fact Chrysalis’s approach is built around connecting the two, since a competency framework has limited impact if leaders aren’t equipped to use it, and leadership coaching works best when it’s underpinned by clear organisational standards.
