Pioneering Work in Building C-Suite and C-Minus 1 Archetypes
At Altus Partners, we are at the forefront of developing C-Suite and C-Minus 1 archetypes, providing our clients with invaluable tools to benchmark against industry success and create their distinctive cultural DNA. This pioneering work is driven by our unique behavioural psychometric tool, PACE, developed specifically for the Private Equity industry.
PACE (Psychometric Assessment for Cultural Excellence):
C-Suite and C-Minus 1 Archetypes: Our proprietary PACE tool enables us to build detailed archetypes of successful C-Suite and C-Minus 1 leaders within the industry. These archetypes are based on a comprehensive analysis of behavioural patterns, decision-making processes, and leadership styles that have proven effective in the competitive private equity landscape.
Benchmarking Success: By leveraging PACE, our clients can benchmark their leadership performance and cultural attributes against these archetypes. This benchmarking process provides a clear roadmap for achieving excellence and aligning with industry best practices.
Creating Cultural DNA: Understanding and developing a strong cultural DNA is crucial for long-term success. PACE facilitates this by identifying critical behavioural traits and cultural elements that resonate with successful leaders. This insight allows our clients to intentionally shape their organisational culture, fostering environments where teams can thrive and achieve sustained success.
Enhancing Diversity: PACE empowers clients to enhance diversity within their portfolio companies. By identifying diverse behavioural traits and inclusive cultural elements, PACE promotes the creation of balanced and dynamic teams that can navigate complex challenges and drive innovation.
