Development Assessment / Potential Assessment

Where does a person thrive best, and what growth is achievable? When it comes to development, career advancement, and succession planning, you want to answer that question based on solid evidence, not just a hunch.

A development assessment (potential assessment) identifies talents, motivations, and growth opportunities and translates them into a concrete development path.

Explanation

Development Assessment / Potential Assessment

An assessor measures personality, motivations, and cognitive ability and evaluates them through the lens of the competencies that matter for the role. In a one-on-one feedback session, we discuss the results and the direction for development.

This allows you to make targeted investments in development that suits both the individual and the organization, with a clear starting point for a development plan.

The assessment is suitable for employees, aspiring managers, and professionals considering their next career move. In addition to the report, you’ll receive concrete development tips and, if desired, a follow-up program with coaching, so that your growth is truly set in motion and doesn’t stop at just a report.

In addition to the online tests, the assessment may include practical simulations and role-playing exercises, with a trained actor if desired. In such simulations, we elicit the behaviors that truly matter in the role, because observed behavior is a reliable predictor of future behavior. An assessor observes and evaluates the core competencies in realistic situations, supplemented by a competency-based interview. On the assessment day, there is an oral debriefing, and within two business days, you will receive a clear written report; in accordance with the NIP guidelines, we will only share it after receiving the candidate’s approval.

  • Targeted development instead of isolated training sessions
  • Insight into potential for career advancement and succession planning
  • Greater motivation and talent retention
  • A concrete starting point for a development plan
  • Optional practical simulations and role-playing exercises with a trained actor

Step-by-Step Guide

Here’s how a consulting process works at hrmforce

No open-ended contracts and no surprises. You know in advance what will happen, who does what, and what you’ll get.

  1. 1

    Introduction

    In a 30-minute conversation, we’ll help you clarify your question: what’s going on, who’s involved, and what needs to be different in three months.

  2. 2

    Custom Proposal

    You’ll receive a proposal outlining our approach, the tools we’ll use, the turnaround time, and a fixed price. No billing by the hour afterward.

  3. 3

    Implementation

    We carry out the process with a dedicated consultant serving as the point of contact. Participants complete the assessments online, and we schedule interviews and sessions in consultation with them.

  4. 4

    Feedback

    You’ll receive the results in a report along with verbal feedback, including specific recommendations rather than just scores.

  5. 5

    Continued

    Together, we’ll determine what’s needed to sustain the results: a training session, a follow-up assessment, or continuing on your own through your own portal.

The result: well-founded advice that you can explain internally, and a next step that aligns with your organization’s capabilities.
