No jargon or guesswork, just clearer talent decisions

Talent Management can feel overwhelming when activity is fragmented, priorities are unclear or different parts of the organisation are working in different ways. Chrysalis helps you understand what’s really getting in the way, identify the priorities that matter most and build an approach around your organisation rather than a generic template.

Because everyone has potential waiting to emerge.

01.

Talent activity isn't joined up
Different processes, frameworks and approaches exist, but they don't work together consistently or clearly support business priorities.

02.

Leadership capability is inconsistent
Managers and leaders need greater confidence, capability or consistency to get the best from their people.

03.

Talent isn't translating into performance
Challenges with engagement, retention, succession, performance or progression suggest something deeper needs attention.

Clearer talent decisions, confident leaders and better performance

Talent Management Strategy & Design

From Talent strategy and organisational capability to succession, performance, competency frameworks and career pathways, support is shaped around the priorities that matter most.

What does a Talent Management consultancy actually do?

A Talent Management consultancy helps organisations understand how effectively they attract, develop and retain the people they need, then strengthens the areas that will make the greatest difference. For Chrysalis, that can range from Talent strategy, succession and performance to competency frameworks, leadership development, assessment and implementation support. The solution is shaped around the organisation rather than a generic template.

Every engagement starts with a discovery conversation to understand what you’re trying to achieve, what’s happening now and where the challenges appear to be. From there, you can agree the most useful next step together. For organisations wanting a broader diagnostic view, the Chrysalis Talent Management Maturity Assessment provides a structured way to identify what is working well, where the gaps sit and what to prioritise across nine interconnected capabilities.

Typically between 4 and 16 weeks, depending on the service. A focused Strategy & Design project or Maturity Assessment usually takes 4 to 12 weeks, while implementation work typically runs 6 to 16 weeks and larger programmes may continue for several months. Leadership and coaching programmes follow their advertised durations.

Timescales, outcomes and ways of working are agreed upfront once Verity understands what you’re looking to achieve.

Yes. Verity has worked across nine industries: IT, retail, non-profit and membership organisations, lottery operations, pharmaceuticals, travel and tourism, automotive, the built environment and luxury hospitality. While every industry has its own context, the principles and practices of effective Talent Management are highly transferable. Each engagement is shaped around the size, context and internal capability of the organisation, drawing on cross-industry experience while designing specifically for yours.

Absolutely. Much of Chrysalis’s work is delivered in partnership with internal HR, People and Talent teams, providing specialist expertise or additional capability where it’s needed. The aim is to work as an extension of your team, building something that can be owned and sustained internally rather than creating dependency.
