ORGANISATIONAL SERVICES

Psychometric Services

Intellumen Pty Ltd has substantial expertise in the psychological assessment of occupational suitability, particularly in senior or security-designated positions. We have ten psychologists with both the forensic and therapeutic skills to undertake these assessments and we understand the need for absolute confidentiality.

Using known and validated psychological tests, assessees are screened for emotional stability, interpersonal skills, interest in learning, agreeableness and conscientiousness. In addition, tests are administered that provide information on potential psychological problems such as anger, substance abuse, mood disorders and personality disorders.

As every organisation is addressing a different mix of issues and pressures, Intellumen will compile a psychological testing battery that suits the particular circumstances of your organisation. To arrange a more detailed discussion, please email or phone (+61 2) 6102 4623.

Coaching and Mentoring Services

Complementing the other services that it offers, Intellumen draws on the experience of its principals in government and the non-government sector to offer a coaching and mentoring service.

Coaching is a process where one person helps another to:

• unlock their natural ability
• perform, learn and achieve
• become more aware of the factors that influence performance
• increase their sense of self-responsibility, particularly for their performance
• self-coach, and
• remove internal barriers to achievement.

Mentoring, on the other hand, is a process where a more experienced person assists a less experienced person to learn by:

• forming a non-specific developmental relationship
• being available as a role model for the purposes of emulation
• illustrating how an organisation / company / department works and what it expects of an individual employee
• providing feedback and appraisal, and
• teaching the relevant skills that will enable the less experienced person to perform effectively in an organisation.

Essentially a coach is focussed on assisting an individual to learn how to achieve more while a mentor is available for the individual to use as a resource. The two roles can function separately or overlap but the skills that characterise each are clarity of purpose and honesty, particularly on the part of the coach / mentor.

The principals of Intellumen have provided mentoring assistance to many Springboard participants over the past four years with some outstanding results, particularly in terms of career improvement. Michael Brown has also worked with other individuals in both coaching and mentoring roles and has achieved consistently positive results. His particular areas of expertise relate to senior government service and non-government organisations.
