Management Assessment Center

A global financial services company needed to improve its branch management bench strength and was looking to develop a leadership pipeline. Rather than putting all management candidates through a leadership development program, and thereby diluting its investment, the firm wanted to screen the top candidates and only admit the top prospects into the program, then invest intensely in those individuals. The firm asked our team to help them design the screening process. If invited to attend the Management Assessment Center, candidates went through a 1½ day live simulation, involving real-world activities that mapped back to the competency model, and afterwards were given feedback by visiting managers and psychometricians.
