Progress Housing Group were committed to upholding great governance through having an effective board, supporting committees and subsidiaries. This was a key corporate goal for the Group. Altair’s governance experts worked with the leadership teams at Progress to develop a revised skills matrix which included the technical and soft skills required to deliver the Group’s strategic plan. Once the skills matrix was in place, Altair’s interactive excel based tool Aptitude was used to provide ongoing analysis and insight on any current and future skills gaps.
Altair Aptitude enabled Progress to visually record the skills and other key attributes of members on their Board, committees and subsidiary boards. This includes diversity levels and clearly models the impact of timed changes to each entity’s composition.

The utilisation of Altair Aptitude has enabled us to apply a robust, informative approach when assessing the key attributes of our board, committees and subsidiaries. Additionally, the tool as provided us with capability to intelligently plan and identify future skills, competency and diversity gaps, all key elements when considering future succession planning. As a Governance Team we are now better informed on collective and individual strengths and areas of development both now and in the future.Gillian Hayhurst, Head of Governance and Deputy Company Secretary
