organisational awareness

Recognising how formal and informal relations, interests and decision making work in the organisation and taking these into account in own actions.

How hrmforce measures this

Scenario with response options, scored on knowledge or behavioural tendency.

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	Asks who needs to be involved in a topic before a proposal is shared with others. works under supervision and follows instruction · routine, one variable at a time · own task
N3 Proficient	Assesses which interests a proposal touches, involves the right people beforehand and chooses a suitable moment to raise it. sets own approach and seeks input proactively · several variables, some ambiguity · own team or process
N5 Leading	Sees through relations between organisational units and external parties and steers decision making by organising support at an early stage. 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.
