What are the latest developments in and uses of Assessment Center technology?
We are seeing that, more and more, companies are using Assessment Centers as a tool to address critical business issues. Clients faced with impending change will use an assessment center to rapidly gain an understanding of its organizations current talents and to give its leaders a springboard to help develop the new skills needed to face the new challenges. Assessment Centers are also being used to address skill issues that are best learned experientially. For example, clients are also using assessment centers to address global team issues – helping leaders in the US to better understand and communicate with international counterparts, and vice-versa. We find that training alone and coaching alone are not enough to address the more intricate challenges global organizations face.
