Tales from Central and Eastern Europe...on Running 101 Development Centres: A Practitioner's Review of Applying Assessment Centre Methodology in Times of Rapid Growth
With
the need to develop future leaders the number of development centres has
been going up each year. This presentation will summarise the practical
challenges faced when implementing and running assessment center
methodology and processes in
- Does
one competency profile really fit all?
- Growing
need for managers - more centres. Even though nominees are less
experienced, statistical data suggests that the distribution of
results is relatively stable.
- Training
assessors: internals vs externals. The effects of assessors'
training on the nomination process - a desirable side-effect.
- Integration
sessions and consensus meetings: experiences from a diverse
environment - best practices.
- Where
preparation meets training: the amount of information given prior to
the centre.
- Decreasing
application of psychological tests: effects and caveats.
- Out
of our hands: the follow-up process after the centre.
- Impact
of language and culture: a wide area.
Ending
with a practice compilation, the presentation will also include time and
opportunity to share and exchange best practices.
