Executive Assessment Options Provide Unparalleled Insight
As organizations become increasingly concerned with talent management, they need accurate and reliable people information to make the best decisions regarding talent deployment, promotion, and development. DDI’s assessment approach brings together proven assessment tools and methods that provide unparalleled insight into leaders’ capabilities.
Our web-enabled, scalable solutions are globally available to generate rich, detailed information on both organizational and individual capability to execute specific strategic imperatives. These imperatives can include driving growth, entering new markets, transforming organizational culture, or integrating a new acquisition.
DDI offers three different assessment solutions, each with its own set of advantages:
- Our simulation-based solution requires participants go through a number of simulations designed to reflect the challenges and situations they would typically face in a higher-level position. We have 29 state-of-the-art executive acceleration centers in major cities around the world.
- Our 360o/multirater solution is an excellent option for a lower-cost assessment focused on development. Administration of DDI’s LeadershipMirror® or Targeted Feedback®, our two 360o offerings, coupled with our Global Leadership Inventories, provides excellent insights into leaders’ strengths and areas for improvement.
- Our interview-based assessment solution includes an in-depth interview with the individual being assessed, coupled with a Career Achievement Portfolio and business cases. It’s an excellent option when simulations are not the right fit, but detailed data and insights are needed.
DDI’s executive assessment approach makes it possible for organizations to:
- Capture a holistic picture of an individual, relative to his or her organizational and job knowledge, experience, skills, and personal attributes.
- Link strategic priorities or imperatives to the hiring, promotion, development, and deployment of leadership talent.
- Mitigate risks associated with leadership talent decisions by gathering highly accurate and actionable data and insights.
- Pinpoint strengths and development opportunities to determine role readiness or to guide ongoing development.
