About us

The Talent Innovations workforce includes project managers, bureau support staff and IT professionals. We also have a large network of associate consultants in business psychology, coaching and wellbeing.

However, the 'core' of Talent Innovations is the brother-and-sister team of Mark and Elva Ainsworth:

Elva Ainsworth BA LCH FCIPD - Managing Director

Elva Ainsworth

Elva returned from 2 years working as a Business Psychologist for SHL in the USA determined to take a fresh approach to 360° feedback. In 2001 she left SHL to build her own business and specifically to create an on-line 360° platform designed for maximum developmental impact. That was version one...

Elva's career has included psychology and HR Management (most latterly at RAC Motoring Services) and, since 1996, business psychology consultancy working closely with international clients such as Sony, Oracle Corporation and Shell.
