Discovering effective managers
Our experience of discovering management talent covers all business functions, including Production, Finance, Operations, Sales, Marketing, IT, HR and Procurement.
Our assessment solutions are designed to provide you with a ‘whole person’ view of a candidate’s capability, covering their drive, reasoning style and interpersonal behaviour.
We work with you to analyse the success profile of your target management population, focusing on the behaviours, skills, knowledge, experience, and cultural values that underpin effective performance.
To help you discover the right managers who meet this profile, we can offer appropriate tools for use in your Assessment Centres or as free-standing elements of your selection process. These include:
- Simulation Exercises - our AC-EXS range is the world’s largest selection of off-the-shelf business simulation exercises, around 90 of which have been specifically developed for first line and middle management level assessments. You have the option of using off-the-shelf, customised and bespoke exercises or any combination of the three
- Competency Based Interviews - we can design questions specifically related to your own defined criteria or alternatively you can generate your own questions and interview guides using our online CBI generator, CBI-SMART™
- Situational Judgement Tests - SJTs offer a quick and reliable means of assessing decision making and judgement through a series of work-related ‘situations’, set within the context of your organisation’s culture and values to provide candidates with a realistic job preview
- Psychometrics - our management assessment processes can incorporate a battery of psychometrics to measure aspects of a candidate’s personality, mental ability, motives and talents
At the end of any consulting assignment, we always seek to confirm the results achieved. This can have a number of aims including validating the effectiveness of the talent discovery process; monitoring fairness and impact on minority groups; and identifying scope for continuous improvement.
