Professional Support for Executive Appointments
Moon Consulting has introduced a new service designed to ensure the successful integration of new talent into organisations. Our goal is to support executives during their transition from ‘best candidates’ to ‘effective leaders and managers’ in their new positions, whether at Board, strategic or operational level. Benefits include:
For the sponsoring organisation:
• Clarifies role purpose, short to medium term priorities and first actions
• Accelerates induction and shortens time to fully integrated, high performance working
• Aids retention and development of key talent; maximises return on recruitment investment
• Demonstrates support for executive and optimises their potential for contribution
For the individual:
• Clarity of role purpose, priorities and action plans (first few days, weeks and months)
• External specialist input to strategy and skills for success
• Fresh perspective and reality check on business challenges, with no ‘agenda’
• Raises personal awareness of immediate needs to adapt to the new environment, through shifts in mindset and behaviours (‘What got you here won’t get you to there’)
We believe focus on these aspects, through a bespoke programme also known as ‘first 100 days’ and ‘onboarding’, has a significant impact on the retention, motivation and productivity of newly appointed executives and their teams. To deliver this initiative Moon Consulting has teamed up with Sarah Gilbert of Apsley Associates, a people development consultancy focusing on individual and organisational change.

Sarah is a highly qualified and experienced executive coach, mentor and consultant with particular expertise in career management. Working with a variety of organisations, she has supported individuals and teams of leaders and managers through transition to achieve and exceed their objectives.
