BHRC Model

 

Brannick HR Connections (BHRC) uses the “3-D model” in all consulting, coaching, and speaking engagements. This model ensures that BHRC helps its clients connect the right strategies and the right people to create great relationships. Great relationships produce great results.

 

Define – BHRC works with key stakeholders to define the purpose of the engagement and what they want to achieve. This step is the most important part of the engagement because the quality and results of the engagement depend on having a clear, focused, and specific purpose.

 

Discover – BHRC uses a variety of strategies and tools to discover the obvious and “not so obvious” truth about current people and strategies involved in the situation related to the engagement. Identifying strengths and opportunities for improvement in both people and strategies is critical to developing a plan for achieving the results that key stakeholders want to achieve.

 

Develop – BHRC works with key stakeholders to develop a plan for creating, implementing, and evaluating consulting, coaching, or speaking services and deliverables that will produce the results that key stakeholders want. BHRC then works closely with the client to effectively execute the plan.
