At Quadrant 1 International we specialise in talent management and talent development and work with individuals, teams and organisations from both the public and private sectors. We are Business NLP trainers in leadership and international authors of personal development books published by Pearson Education. We work with people from a cross section of disciplines and industries including logistics, pharmaceuticals, IT, Education, Health, Manufacturing, Engineering, Airline services, Retail and Finance. Our clients include Astom, EMC, Norbert Dentressangle, Exertis Micro P, DCC, BBA, Mathew Clark, Equinix, B & Q plc, South Gloucestershire College, Specsavers, Sanofi Aventis, Perkin Elmer, Wincanton, Ricoh, Carbogen Amcis and Simon Hegele.

Harrison Assessment Talent Solutions is at the heart of everything we do whether it is providing a bureau service for HR specialists to run recruitment campaigns, coaching senior executives, running team development events, helping organisations establish their DNA, adding substantial benefits to performance reviews or benchmarking excellence. Here are a few examples of how we have helped people:

Logistics Company with 33,000 employees - wanted to know why their home grown managers stayed with them but those brought in from the outside left within 18 months. They also use HATS to measure performance against company values.

Adult Education College - Two very different colleges amalgamated and the HR Director wanted to establish a unified culture. We helped them produce a profile using HATS which is incorporated into their performance review system. Not only has this raised expectations but managers are able to have conversations which would previously have been avoided.

Data Storage Company - Uses HATS for recruitment and to offer a 'joined up' succession planning system across 3 continents as well as for recruitment of senior executives.

Wholesale Suppliers to the Entertainment Industry - we used HATS team paradox as the foundation for a team direction event and for recruitment of senior executives.

International Pharmaceutical Company - we used HATS team paradox with the top team and for recruitment of senior executives.

All Quadrant 1 coaching clients and attendees on our open programmes are asked to complete the Harrison Assessment Paradox as it gives such a rich starting point for development.

We are building a strong team of HATS consultants all of whom have extensive business and/or HR backgrounds.
