Assessment and Development Centres
Development centres are often used by organisations as an integral part of their overall approach to leadership and management development. They provide an important means by which each manager can gain feedback about their strengths and development needs against the organisation’s management competencies. The outcomes of the development centres can then be used to inform the creation of individual management development plans. The development centres therefore contribute to facilitation of more effective job performance, enhance career development, and ultimately contribute to the attainment of greater organisational success.
Assessment centres are similar in approach to development centres, but are usually designed to assess candidates for a specific outcome such as promotion or recruitment.
Organisations such as AugustaWestland, Johnson Matthey, and Chichester College have all benefited from the assessment and development centres that we have delivered.
All of our assessment and development centres are tailored to meet the specific needs of your people and organisational requirements. We can deliver the assessment or development centre on site or at a venue convenient for your managers to attend.
Our assessment and development centres can help you to:
- Understand in greater detail the strengths and development needs of your managers.
- Benchmark the performance and capability of your managers against similar organisations and best practice standards.
- Quickly identify your talent and high potentials.
- Readily collate the training needs of your managers and devise and deliver training and development programmes to meet those needs.
- Identify the most suitable candidate(s) for recruitment and promotion.
We have a range of flexible assessment and development solutions and options that can be adapted to meet your needs and budgetary requirements. All you need to do is provide us with the outcomes you require and we will provide you with an outline proposal and costs.
What makes us unique is our ability to quickly understand in detail the needs of your organisation and to identify and develop the assessment tools and activities that will deliver the outcomes you require.
