Multiple exercises, multiple assessors, dimension-wise scoring.
Behavioural anchors
| Level | Behaviour at this level |
|---|---|
| N1 Guided | Aligns own activities with one direct colleague and confirms who picks up which task and when. works under supervision and follows instruction · routine, one variable at a time · own task |
| N3 Proficient | Organises consultation between the parties in a shared process, records agreements and actively tracks whether these are met. sets own approach and seeks input proactively · several variables, some ambiguity · own team or process |
| N5 Leading | Sets up the coordination structure between departments or chain partners and decides which meetings, roles and information flows the organisation uses as standard. sets the standard and the policy · strategic, under high uncertainty · organisation, value chain or profession |
N2 and N4 are deliberately not anchored. Raters place them between the anchors, following the O*NET convention.
