Assessment & Development Centres
I have experience of designing, co-ordinating and facilitating assessment and development centres. More recently I have worked as an associate observer on a number of assignments.
The most effective assessment and development centres are designed to represent a ‘day in the life of’ – using a range of activities that are specifically designed to represent the organisations working practices, supported with a range of profiling tools and if appropriate 360 degree feedback provides a strong platform for aligning leadership development with corporate strategy.
Assessment and development centres are linked to performance improvement and can be used to support:
- recruitment and selection
- succession planning
- identifying leaders of the future
- talent development
- mergers and acquisitions
- change management programmes
Assessment and development centres, provides a cost effective way of enabling organisations to identify and measure current performance and future potential.
