Continuum is a company which is passionate about innovating and creating tangible results in the performance of people and people functions. We measure potential, work with the latest ideas in cognition and neuroscience, evaluate tangible and intangible business factors, develop potential and competence as well as help HR and L&D departments deliver significant returns to their organisation.
Continuum was established in 2000 by Russell Thackeray. Following a successful career as a marketeer and then as a consultant/psychologist in a major HR Consulting Company, he wanted to combine his passion for the development of others with his curiosity for some of the most interesting and innovative learning and development strategies and techniques.
To this end, Continuum became involved with the creation of the Centre of Emotional Intelligence and the delivery of a range of management development training and corporate change programmes utilising EI, LEAN, NLP, Six Sigma and Energy Psychology to name but a few…..!
In 2003, Steve Wycherley joined the company and brought a track record in Senior HR and operational management. From that point, Continuum then blended innovation with pragmatism, ‘pinstriping’ ideas and delivering a wider range of projects, including to Investors.
Continuum is justly proud of their Business Development capability, with Chrissie Lewis and Cathy Lawson spearheading our revenue generation, account management and resource management processes.
We deliver our projects through the skills of our expert associates who range from reward specialists to trainers of soft skills. All of our associates are carefully auditioned, screened and chosen on the basis of both their functional and business expertise.
All Continuum people understand how to situate their knowledge in the real business world. This value informs much of what we do, providing sensible, pragmatic and useful outputs in a jargon-free and ‘non-white coat’ manner.
Whilst Continuum now has a successful track record with a range of clients delivering pragmatic projects, we have not forgotten our founding principles and continue to create fresh solutions and ideas from which we generate new client relationships and new projects.
These have included:
- The ability to measure ‘potential’ as well as performance
- New methods to assess and create ROI from a range of learning interventions
- New ways to assess performance to move away from an over-reliance on assessment centres
- New ways to align Talent Management process with organisational strategy
- New ways to assess the value of a function, particularly HR
- New ways to embed learning into organisations
Continuum head into the future with a clear mission to further widen our offering to deliver a ‘total solution’ for an even greater range of clients – ranging from service provision to outsourcing where appropriate.
We want to ensure that we continue to innovate so that our passion and curiosity constantly challenges ourselves and our clients to achieve their ambitions through people.
