Introduction

BuddyCoach™ is a free service from Brefi Group that allows individual managers and directors to discover their strengths and development needs. For each result you will get some suggestions of actions to improve your competence in that area. Use this to prepare your own personal development plan.

You can also obtain valuable feedback from up to ten colleagues, such as your line manager, some peers and some of your direct reports.

This range of management games can be used to achieve specific purposes or to fill a slot in a conference or workshop.

The Prisoners' Dilemma, or Red Blue Game, is a trust game demonstrating win:win; the Spaceship Shortlist is a negotiation game seeded with stereotypes likely to expose prejudices; and the Hollow Square can be used to help teams understand the impact of communication between those who develop plans and those who have to implement them.

These downloadable tools have been designed for individuals working alone, although they are also suitable for managers and HR staff to recommend as part of a personal development plan.

They include identifying personal goals and making them happen, dealing with stress and building self esteem.

The general purpose resources collection is useful for managers, HR departments and recruitment consultants.

There is a powerful in-tray exercise that tests candidates' people management skills; an employee development pack covering induction, job description, appraisal and training plans; and a workshop manual for stimulating creativity and generating new ideas.

CorporateFeedback is a powerful web-based diagnostic program specifically designed for 360° training needs analysis (TNA). It can be fully customised to your organisation's web page design, and specified to suit the specific job roles, departmental structures and competencies that apply in your organisation.

CorporateFeedback can also be used for other subjective surveys, including market research and customer relations.

Brefi Group has collected a package of programs that support our consultancy activities with structured diagnostic processes. CorporateDiagnostic™ programs enable consultants to collect and assess data on people, systems and organisations. Data collection is undertaken on-line using web-based questionnaires. Analysis by our consultants enables us to identify and support people and processes for a more innovative and sustaining organisation.
