Skills Assessment Tool

We developed the Flock Skills Assessment Tool to help advertisers build the best marketing operating model.

The Flock Skills Assessment Tool is simple and adaptable, enabling the evaluation of skills and competencies at both a team and individual level. Our tools helps to inform future focused people plans that drive employee retention, personal development, better ways of working and outputs. ​

Are you ready to unlock the true potential of your team?

Organisation design

Our organisation design service supports rapid and thoughtful changes to the way marketing teams are structured.

We’re experienced in responding to a full range of organisation design scenarios, including mergers, digital transformations, headcount reductions and rebalancing of local, regional and global resources

Whatever the brief, in our organisation design recommendations we always seek to prioritise proximity to the customer, simplicity, cultural fit and the ability to deliver core marketing activities.

Frequently our organisation design service will leverage the findings from our Skills Assessment Tool, with insights about the skills and abilities of the team informing decisions about how the team is structured for future success.

Learning and development

Flock provides formal training solutions in a wide range of areas, reflecting the depth and breadth of our team’s skills and experience.

Topics for recent training programmes and workshops the Flock team have designed, created and delivered include Creative Production, the end-to-end Operational Marketing Process and Digital Media Buying.

Flock also partners with large training provider, QA, to deliver off-the-shelf or bespoke learning & development solutions.

We are passionate about the idea of mixed learning, with only 10% of all learning built around classroom training, with the remainder a combination of mentoring, role-modelling and on-the-job development. We work with our customers to build and embed a structured approach to the informal (and arguably most important) aspects of Learning & Development, so that skills can be effectively developed, consistently and at scale.

Talent acquisition

So, you’ve assessed the capabilities of your team, optimised your organisation design and executed a comprehensive Learning & Development. What else can there be left to do? Except, of course, to fill those remaining gaps that can’t be filled from within the organisation, through recruitment.

 

Flock works hand in glove with our specialist recruitment partner, Grace Blue, to provide a comprehensive process which finds and places the best talent in your CXO and Senior marketing positions. To date we have placed great people in multiple locations from the US to Asia. The fact that we have already worked with our customers on the strategy behind each role, even prior to the creation of a job description, means we are able to fill vacancies quickly and with great marketers.

Peter Hylik, Danone
“I think the reason that I keep coming back to Flock to assist and support me in different roles is because of their objective authenticity, the fact that they will be challenging, that they care about the agencies that come into pitch and that I never have a seconds worry that they are anything other than transparent.”
