Innovative analysis and solutions for the challenges organizations face today.

Leadership Pipeline & Succession Planning

Leadership development is a cornerstone of organizational success, and Jones Solution Group, in partnership with The Police Leadership Institute, offers transformative solutions through the Law Enforcement Leadership Pipeline (LELP). This innovative framework addresses workforce challenges, such as recruitment and retention, by fostering leadership and followership at all levels. Beginning with recruitment strategies tailored to generational needs, LELP emphasizes experiential learning and structured development to guide individuals from self-management to senior leadership. By equipping personnel with key competencies—like communication, decision-making, and conflict resolution—LELP builds resilient, adaptive teams ready to meet the demands of modern law enforcement.

Central to the LELP model is the concept of the "Culture Tank," which represents an agency's foundational environment. A well-maintained culture tank acts as a "fuel tank," driving ethical practices, transparent decision-making, and employee wellness initiatives. Conversely, neglect can transform it into a "septic tank," fostering toxic behaviors and low morale. By embedding values like trust, accountability, and respect, agencies can sustain positive cultures that enhance morale, retention, and organizational performance. With intentional strategies like mentorship programs and behavior focused training, the LELP framework empowers agencies to ensure they remain effective in serving their communities and developing future leaders.

Promotional Processes

Promotions are a vital component of shaping your agency’s culture and success. We specialize in developing custom promotional exams that are fair, transparent, and psychometrically sound, ensuring they are embraced by your agency. Our approach includes collaborating with agencies to identify content that aligns with the job requirements while excluding areas with policy-practice disconnects. From written exams with cut-scores to scenario-based assessments and oral evaluations, our tailored processes reflect real-world tasks and decision-making. We prioritize fairness with post-test item analysis and structured challenge opportunities. Additionally, we recommend using external assessors with anchored rating scales to enhance impartiality and consistency. By integrating data-driven methods and best practices, we deliver equitable and effective promotional solutions that support your agency’s goals.
