In our new blog, our chairman Fabiaan Van Vrekhem delves into the meaning and significance of vertical development. Read it here ➡️ https://www.valpeo.com/tpost/b5l2x1i551-how-vertical-development-is-elevating-or

Podcast alert!🎙️

Our chairman Fabiaan Van Vrekhem is a guest on Future of Work, a new podcast series from De Tijd. He shares his views on several propositions:
✅ Motivation to learn is more important than how learning is done;
✅ Maturity is mainly age-related, development plans are irrelevant;
✅ The right training can enable talents to meet more complex challenges.

💭 Is motivation enough to keep learning? Does maturity come with age (only)? And is it impossible to further develop your consciousness, unlike competencies for instance?

Food for thought! 🤔 If these questions sparked your interest, then make sure to keep an eye out on our socials, because we’ve got something interesting coming!

📢 Soon De Tijd will be launching a podcast in which our CEO Fabiaan Van Vrekhem strikes up the dialogue on lifelong learning, the quest for forever balance, and so much more. A promising conversation, to say the least.

We’re looking forward to sharing this episode with you, launching on 7 June. Mark your calendars! 🎯

Transition managers are growing significantly in popularity among businesses worldwide. 📈 They hold great responsibility: they must coordinate any transformational changes in a company, which goes hand in hand with a high level of complexity they need to manage.
So how do you know you assign the right person to the task? 🤔

Wim De Mulder, partner at Valpeo, says, “To understand how transition managers handle complexity, we need to bring their ‘change agility’, ‘problem-solving ability’, and ‘awareness of complexity’ into focus. This can be accomplished by analyzing their complexity orientation, which needs to complement the other qualities that we traditionally look for in transition managers.”

Having insight into the complexity orientation of each candidate will help avoid costly mistakes. 💸 At Valpeo, we believe assessments are an indispensable tool to minimize the risk of mis-hires!

Some leadership consultants would argue that a search process involving ‘transition management’ differs from a traditional executive search process. Wim De Mulder, partner at Valpeo, does not agree.

‼️ In the selection process today, too many candidates are still rejected or recruited for the wrong reasons.

✨Nowadays, people are searching for purpose in their jobs and feel a stronger urge of self-expression, also in a work environment. Stephan Soens, partner at Valpeo and Accord Group, says, “The cultural match between a candidate and a potential employer and the level of added value that someone can bring become much more important than proven experience or tested competencies. Yet we still rely too often on established concepts and methodologies which, at best, simply offer a false sense of security.”

💭 At Valpeo, we believe the most successful employer will be the company that allows its employees to develop themselves to the fullest, and that hires employees who can bring maximum added value.
