‘Having used PROPHET successfully at Brakes Group, I was confident that it had the commercial credibility and analytical rigour that would add value to the CEO and ExCom. We profiled the top 100 in our business and used the insight to develop continued effectiveness in ExCom and in all of the critical teams within our business. Both the Founder and the CEO have valued the intuitive insight and it has played a major part in helping promote business relationships, post a key acquisition. I am putting my HR team through accreditation and will continue to use PROPHET as a way of fast-tracking the on-boarding of senior people – as well as guiding decisions around the implementation of strategy, given the profile of our senior population.’Tracy French, HR Director, Arrow Global Plc

PROPHET is the enabler to do that. We initially profiled our ExCo and helped a team that has worked together for a while, re-set their relationships using the PROPHET insight. We ran team sessions with the wider leadership group and subsequently profiled our top 100.
PROPHET has added value for all our teams and executives. We have accredited the HR team to derive the maximum from the profiles and we are using it every day in our talent lifecycle, as well as using it for senior hires.

‘In running and advising many businesses throughout my career I’ve seen and used an array of profiling tools. PROPHET is at the top of that list, an amazing tool to put the team at immediate ease but yet highlight strengths and immediate areas for development. As applicable for high performing executive teams as functional and middle management groups irrespective of sector. I’ve had the benefits of it both in my business interests as well as my Foundation. I can’t recommend PROPHET highly enough.’Iain MacRitchie, Entrepreneur, Former Chairman of the Institute for Turnaround
