Flexibility

Adjusts working method, planning and behaviour when the situation or the request changes, while keeping the agreed result intact.

How hrmforce measures this

Self-report of behavioural preferences. At hrmforce the Big Fifty and the 15PF.

This is a selection criterion, not a short-term development goal. Do not put a three-month development plan on it.

Level	Behaviour at this level
N1 Guided	Switches to a different task as soon as the supervisor asks and leaves the work in hand in an orderly state. works under supervision and follows instruction · routine, one variable at a time · own task
N3 Proficient	Revises the approach independently when the request changes, keeps stakeholders informed and still delivers the result within the boundaries. sets own approach and seeks input proactively · several variables, some ambiguity · own team or process
N5 Leading	Builds processes and organisational forms that adapt quickly to new circumstances and decides when the overall course changes. 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.

These skills inherit the assessment route and the behavioural anchors of this construct.
