The 4 personas of organisational development
Put quite simply, Organisational Development is about driving high performance through understanding the capabilities of the people in your business.
So, when we think about Org Development we break it down into 4 essential personas that, when aligned, improves overall individual, team and organisational performance.
- Leadership Capability: the driving force steering your ship towards strategic success.
- Individual Capability: the bedrock, identifying and sharpening each team member’s unique strengths.
- Team Capability: the collaborative engine, uniting individuals to achieve shared goals.
- Organisational Capability: the master plan, weaving these pillars into a seamless strategy for overall growth.
Our approach to Org Development gives you a plan of how you might handle your business and equip you with the skills and confidence to tackle any change. As let’s face it the one thing we can count on is that change is constant so why not get prepared!
It has been wonderful working with Let’s Talk Talent delivering across our Organisational Development needs, creating bespoke development tools and strategies to enhance our people and culture.

Steering the ship through Leadership Capability
As a cornerstone of Org Development, developing leadership capability in your organisation is crucial in terms of steering your organisation towards strategic success.
Effective leadership is crucial for navigating the challenges of a dynamic business environment. It fosters a culture of innovation, adaptability, and resilience, key elements in the Org Development process. By investing in leadership development, we ensure your organisation not only achieves short-term objectives but also builds a foundation for sustained growth and success.
Cultivating high performance through Individual Capability
Individual Capability is the bedrock of Org Development, focusing on identifying and honing each team member’s unique strengths. When it comes to Org Development, being able to recognise and unlock your people’s potential is super important.
Our approach involves helping you to create innovative approaches in terms of your competency and career framework development as well as learning experiences to unlock and develop that potential, fostering a workforce where every member contributes their best.
This emphasis on individual growth directly aligns with core Org Development principles, enhancing overall organisational performance by optimising the potential of each team member.
Powering collaborative success through Team Capability
Once you know your exam question, it’s time to create your building blocks. These are your strategic drivers. It could be that you want to improve your employee lifecycle, it may be that you want to upskill your management community, it might be that you need to put in HR systems and processes. These building blocks ultimately answer that question and enable you to get great people and keep great people.
From these building blocks, we’ll help create a number of work streams. These are the projects that you and your team will deliver to answer that exam question. They could be your EVP, they could be creating a leadership and management programme, they could be looking at your onboarding process.
They’re the actual tangible timelines and projects that you’re going to deliver.
You’ll also set up how you will deliver your plan and roll it out to the company, and over what period of time.
