Case - Design of a university wide engagement capability development program
Engaged by leading ‘Group of Eight’ university to design an institution-wide capability program, building from an earlier pilot using the Geri framework. The scope of work included extensive internal and external consultation, informing the design of a multi-dimensional program, primarily for academic leaders and staff at all levels. The designed program addressed issues of visibility and scaleability, was informed by leading practice, recognised the university’s context and developed specific offerings (e.g. across engagement domains, and capability areas).
Case - Geri professional development for researchers
For the past 3 years, we have provided multi-format professional development using the Geri circumplex and approach as part of Monash University’s doctoral program. This program has been offered under the headings of ‘Unlocking Your Research Potential’ and ‘Unlocking Your Career Potential’.
Case - Informing executive search and recruitment decisions
The Geri capability framework has been used to inform the identification and screening of potential appointees to roles where engagement-related capabilities are recognised as being important.
