4. SELECTion or Choice?
SELECT Training and Management Consultancy L.L.C. was established
and founded by its Managing Director Natalie Brown in 2006 in the Emirate of
Abu Dhabi to offer expertise in the fields of Management Training and Human
ResourceConsultancytoCorporateandGovernmentsectorsinAbuDhabi. Natalie’s
commitment to her organisation, and her dedication to aligning to the demands
and criteria defined by the market have yielded tangible and successful results in
its active years of operation. SELECT invested into operations in Dubai in 2012 and
across its product and service portfolio to leverage from the legacy and experience
of its Management Consultants.
SELECT draws from principles of eastern philosophy throughout the design,
development and execution of professional training curriculums and Management
and Human Resource consultancy. The execution of meticulously engineered
experiences are motivated by the objective of influencing perceptions in key topics
through deliberate creases of knowledge, that reinforce structure for that realm of
knowledge within each individual.
Attentive alignment to national initiatives, endorsed by corporate and government
partners and driven by vocational and educational authorities within the
United Arab Emirates, is a cornerstone of SELECT’s foundations; including
initiatives emulated in the wider Middle East region. SELECT has proven that it can
leverage from the knowledge gap prevalent across market verticals, gaining local
market share through the provision of impeccable services and support.
SELECT’s allegiance with the professional domain has proven successful, driven
by a team of dedicated skill sets and competencies that suit the organic growth
and development of a nation and a region. When it comes to Human Capital
Development, we make it is less about choosing between two or more possibilities
and only about choosing the best; don’t make a choice, make a SELECTion.
SELECT, at its core, focuses on behavioural competency development within the
professional sphere, and provides its clientele with solutions that
Assess Evaluate and Validate those that it chooses to up-skill and
align with organisational objectives.
An organisation that is in the business of reconstructing and reinforcing theory into
practice, SELECT utilises its management consultancy and training talent pool to
bring out the inherent attributes of the competencies it up-skills organisations in.
At SELECT, training is more than just an instructor led experience. It is the direct
application of human creative skill, ingenuity and imagination facilitating the
transformation of theory into practice through experiential learning.
This is surmised eloquently by the proverb, ‘Art is long, life is short’; in the
acquisition ofknowledge a lifetime is not enough.
SELECT approaches each engagement with its clientele akin to an artist. When
starting with the raw malleable material, our highly experienced
training consultants influence the sum and substance of the material through
carefully orchestrated manoeuvres; bringing to the fore its true nature and ability,
restructured to reveal that which was concealed before.
As professional practitioners, our objective is to elevate, enhance and bring charm
and structure to those that we work with in the training room, leveraging from
participative training techniques. Training resembles and mirrors art in
many respects. Our management consultants make the most of the fundamental
qualities of the raw ingredients and materials at their disposal; drawing out the
best qualities for our clientele to be harnessed for the purpose they were intended
for. Whatever the end objective, and however complex, no one can bring forth
more than what the raw material can embody. SELECT encourages its clientele
to appreciate that when shaping the materials for what it wants, it must consider
what shape the materials want to be.

5. SELECT Service Profile
SELECT values its relationship beyond that of a service provider. Each
engagement is an agreement between partners working towards creating
mutually beneficial and enduring relationships. As an organisation, SELECT has
successfully continued to adapt to the demands of the clients, and to the external
factors that shape the clients expectations.
SELECT offers multiple services within Human Capital Development, aligned
with its focus of behavioural competency development. This focus is underpinned
by the ability to sustain long-term reinforcement and development with clientele
and delegates at the pre and post training phase, overshadowing ‘one-time
training’or ‘invoice training’.
Exceeding customer expectations and building long-term partnerships are the
cornerstones of our vibrant company that are complimented by unique skill sets of
consultative, commercial and training teams. It is the organisation’s cumulative
expertise and insight that facilitates leverage for optimal learning
conditions; to return significant value after investment. This is why the

SELECT offers public courses from a catalogue of 60 topics, scheduled at

areas. The frequency of the courses is determined by the popularity and/or the
specialisation of the course, attended by professionals from diverse industry
specialisations. The opportunity to learn from others is heightened in a public
course and fosters learning that is holistic and objective; free of the challenges of a
participant’s employment environment.
SELECT offers endorsed programmes from the Institute of Leadership and
Management (ILM) that run periodically across the annual calendar and options
are given to delegates to include the cost of assessment in their booking to earn
recognised certification.
SELECT promotes its Public Training Sessions through scheduled campaigns

Guilds and The Institute of Leadership Management.
An in-house course is delivered specifically for the client requesting it, for
internally nominated delegates. These courses can be delivered in English
and in Arabic either ‘out of the box’ or with further tailoring and customisation.
Further details of the tailoring process can be reviewed in ‘SELECT’s Methodology

Thelong-standingrelationshipsSELECThasdevelopedwithinternationalprincipals
empowers it to develop customised curriculums and content for its clientele. This
level of customisation can be as basic as minor tweaks to the content or course
outline to meet the most basic of expectations, up to full turnkey solutions. Within
this process SELECT consultants identify through workshop facilitation the
organisationalpainpointstodesignandcreatebespokecurriculums,andcontentfor

The benefits of in-house training:
Address mission critical organisational challenges
Creation of a unique, upscale and innovative training curriculums and content
Collaborating with and educating Executive Level stake holders on solutions
that directly tackle organisational and departmental limitations.
Constructing learning environments that foster collaborative learning for
people to share knowledge and experiences to solve internal problems.
Accessibility to short and long term, affordable business training solutions,
resources and consulting services.
This highly expedited approach is applicable to all levels of professionals that are
seeking a specialist provider to address performance, behaviour, motivation and
productivity.
Select Executive Coaching Programme
TheSELECTExecutiveCoachingprogrammewaslaunchedin2009andwasdesigned
for managers, senior managers and highflyers promoting higher work performance
and personal effectiveness. As professional careers progress there is emphasis on a
required set of skills to support the expected high performance that is standard in
leadership roles.
This natural progression is supported seamlessly by a carefully designed experience,
facilitated by highly experienced coaches and trainers. Through focused sessions,
key skills are cultured to transition from job descriptions that are now
anchored by People Management and a suite of Strategic Skills.
Characteristics of Coaching
These are some general agreed benefits of the coaching approach:
It is essentially a non-directive form of development.
It focuses on improving performance and developing skills.
Personal issues may be discussed but the emphasis is on performance at work.
Coaching activities have both organisational and individual goals.
It provides people with feedback on their strengths and their weaknesses.
It is a skilled activity that should be delivered by trained people.
Every engagement begins with pre-diagnostic work in order that interpersonal,
intrapersonal, communication and self-management competencies are explored in
depth. This niche area is dependent on the implicit needs of the delegate and the
capacity of the roles they fulfill in the organisation they represent.
Coaching, counselling and mentoring are now recognised as the most effective
way of developing people; a service that SELECT is all too familiar with and
effective at. Irrespective of the course(s) selected, SELECT’s Training Consultants
design bespoke engagements that rapidly equip a delegate with the necessary
knowledge, skills and behaviours required to become a professional within their
realm and level of specialisation.

Job Analysis
The role of job analysis in general terms is an assessment of:
Job Requirements
Competency Developments
Job Descriptions
The foundation of Performance Management
Training and Development
Compensation Management
It is a systematic exploration, study and recording of responsibilities, duties, skills,
accountabilities, work environments and ability requirements of each job. All these
factors identify what a job demands and what an employee must possess to
perform a job productively.
What Does Job Analysis Involve?
The process of job analysis involves in-depth investigation of job requirements to
control and measure the output and impacts the job role has on an organisation.
The process helps to identify and map what each business unit and/or department
requires, with what an employee should deliver. It also helps determine particulars
about a job including job title, job location, job summary, duties through to working
conditions, hazardous duties, machines, tools, equipment and materials.
What job analysis is not:
It is not an analysis of thought processes, attitudes, traits, or aptitudes
It is not a time and motion study
It is not an analysis of an individual position
Importance of Job Analysis
The main purpose of conducting this process creates and establishes a perfect fit
between the job and the employee. Determining the success of a job depends on
unbiased, proper and thorough job analysis that ensures the recruitment and
retention of the the right people.
Job analysis helps Human Resource personnel to decide on compensation and
incentives for a job position. It effectively contributes to assessing training needs
and executing strategy along performance management guidelines for existing
employees. The process forms the foundation for the design, development and
implementation of strategies and policies that deliver on organisational goals and
objectives.

8. Performance Development Programme
The goal of defining a performance and development programme is to assist both
performance planning and feedback at the end of the performance period. The
benefits of performance planning are surmountable and include, but are not limited
to, the following:
Developing skills and abilities consistent with the goals of the organisation
Improving performance productivity,“working smart”
Maximising equity in evaluation, recognition, and compensation
Improving communication and understanding between management and
employee
Developing employee future advancement
Providing managers with a model to develop, improve and recognise excellence
Performance Evaluation and Development Planning
Supervisors are expected to manage performance by having consistent
communicative interest in subordinate development and progression over a given
annual cycle.
The communications should provide timely, balanced, and constructive feedback
underpinned by directives that inspire, mentor, develop and coach subordinates.
When executed effectively, an organisation can achieve higher levels of
productivity and performance from all staff, thus reinforcing retention.
Developing Competency Frameworks
What is a competency?
Within the context of professional organisations, it is a required behaviour within a
job role. A competence is referenced when describing a basic minimum level of
job behaviour and a competency is understood to be a description of performance
excellence.
What is a competency framework?
When considering the definitions above, a Competency Framework is a model that
broadly defines the blueprint for ‘excellent’ performance within an organisation or
sector. Generallytheframeworkwillconsistofanumberofcompetencies,whichcan
be generically applied to a broad number of roles within the organisation or
sector.
Each competency defined must be relevant to the organisation or sector, and use
clear language to associate it within the broader context of its placement. For a
competency framework to be successful, all employees must be able to understand
what‘excellent’job behaviour looks like and how that has been defined within their
roles, department and organisation. This common understanding becomes the
benchmark against which the performance of an individual, team, project, or the
organisation is assessed.
By defining the framework, the organisation is validating its objective of supporting
excellence. SELECTdesignsholisticcompetencyframeworksembracingallpositions
and job levels within an organisation. Furthermore, the framework is designed to
support and underpin key business processes including (but not limited to):
Effective recruitment and selection of new staff.
Effective performance evaluation.
Identification of skill gaps that result in professional training and development.
Succession planning.

Guidelines
SELECT recommends that retailers deploy long term engagements that provide a
consistent and systematic means of monitoring, measuring and analysing the
application of the core deliverables and expectations defined for their outlets.
In tailoring the strategy, the basis for assessment will establish and create the
framework for the‘evaluation sheet’; be it a call or a site visit, proactive or reactive in
its objective. These evaluation sheets can be stand-alone or used to generate
tailor-made analytical and/or narrative reports/graphs.

following parameters:

All engagements are lively and foster knowledge transfer and idea sharing
amongst delegates.
All engagements maintain a positive learning environment.
All delegates receive one-to-one feedback in the class and through feedback
reporting mechanisms.
All delegates leave the course with a clear personal action plan and
recommendations for addressing critical challenges with their professional
development.

benchmark that SELECT does not compromise on.
