Designing your bespoke assessment centre
For when your assessment and development process must meet your precise needs
When we develop your bespoke assessment or development centre we ensure that it is uniquely designed to meet your specified purpose and objectives. Having created bespoke exercises for companies such as Asda, Beachcroft and Dstl, we have a wealth of experience in determining objectives to ensure that our exercises:
- Assess your specific success criteria, leadership model or competencies
- Direct match with the key challenges of the role/s assessed
- Reflect your organisation's culture
- Differentiate you from your competitors
- Provide an engaging and memorable experience for participants
- Are cost effective for high-volume and ongoing assessment needs
Making assessment engaging: The Odyssey concept
Your bespoke assessment or development centre is an experience that should be remembered by your participants for a long time. Your assessors should never feel bored because we build your event to include variety, humour and surprise.
We do this using our Odyssey concept for exercise design. Like a journey or an adventure, exercises developed using the Odyssey approach have a theme, with a beginning, middle and an end, with the exercises developed evoking a range of human emotions and motivations.
Using an Odyssey exercise will ensure that your assessment or development event is challenging, memorable and inspiring.
Creative exercise formats
Rather then rely on tired exercise formats we design assessment and development exercises that are unique to your needs. We avoid old fashioned group exercises and favour focused group tasks. We avoid in-basket tests and develop analysis exercises based on the real job. We ensure interviews are designed to identify all the critical strengths and concerns associated with each candidate. We ensure that online assessment results gathered at the first round are integrated with assessment decisions and interviews at your assessment centre.
