Behavioural anchors
| Level | Behaviour at this level |
|---|---|
| N1 Guided | Delivers several suggestions in an idea round without rejecting or judging them straight away. works under supervision and follows instruction · routine, one variable at a time · own task |
| N3 Proficient | Leads an idea session for the team with a suitable format, collects dozens of ideas and groups them by theme. sets own approach and seeks input proactively · several variables, some ambiguity · own team or process |
| N5 Leading | Sets up idea processes organisation wide, involves customers and partners in them and keeps ideas findable and reusable. 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.
