Build Better

One shared language for competence, from the first hire to the boardroom.

Every organisation manages competence, whether it says so or not: who to hire, what good looks like, who is ready for more and what people will need to do next. This book puts it all in one place, built on Build Better, a coaching deck of 55 everyday behaviours, four levers and a five-phase conversation that turns "what's going on?" into one step someone will actually take.

For business owners, HR and people teams, managers, coaches and consultants. No deck required.

Inside:

- The history of competencies, from David McClelland to skills-based organisations, and what a competency really is
- Levels of work: how all 55 behaviours look at Quality, Service, Practice, Strategic development and Strategic intent
- Frameworks, job design, hiring, onboarding, performance, development, coaching, succession, teams, careers, workforce planning, law and ethics, and a roadmap
- The complete Build Better method: five phases, the levers, casebook, question bank and field guides
- All 167 cards and the Project cards, plus all eight People edition packs (210 more people), front and back, in full colour
- Every A2 playmat, plus photocopiable sheets so you can use the system without the deck
