Established in 2000, our purpose is to maximise the potential of people both at work and in other aspects of their lives. Here at Blue Oyster we believe that within everyone of us, is something of great value to ourselves and others, irrespective of the job that we do, the status we hold, or the experience and skills that we have.

We firmly believe, releasing this untapped potential and maximising performance is best achieved by creating greater self-awareness and generating responsibility within individuals to take ownership for their own development. The way we help others to learn and grow must be by their direction and not ours. The simple message is ‘Ask, don’t tell’.


We help corporate clients to:

Identify talent through assessment for selection
Identify talent through assessment for development
Maximise individual performance through the Manager as Coach Programme
Maximise potential through 1-1 coaching support
Maximise team performance through our Team Excellence Programmes

We help individual clients to:

Realise their full career and life potential
Develop strategies for managing personal & career change
Gain a deeper understanding of what makes them tick through powerful and insightful leading edge psychometric tools

We are guided by our 4 overarching principles:

1. We believe that all our interventions should be a positive experience. Our role is to provide the right level of challenge and support.

2. Development is most powerful when the lessons learnt are a product of peoples’ own actions or experience.
There are no right or wrong answers – simply different ways of doing things.

3. Objective and professional assessment for both selection and development is a balance between evidence and sound professional judgement

4. Wherever possible, we will build our clients own internal capability in key skills areas to ensure the optimum use of their investment.
