Multiple raters around the person rate behaviour against behavioural anchors.
Behavioural anchors
| Level | Behaviour at this level |
|---|---|
| N1 Guided | Tells a colleague how an own task was carried out and passes on the documents used. works under supervision and follows instruction · routine, one variable at a time · own task |
| N3 Proficient | Records own working methods in the team documentation, keeps it current and provides explanation for new colleagues. sets own approach and seeks input proactively · several variables, some ambiguity · own team or process |
| N5 Leading | Establishes across the organisation how knowledge is recorded and shared, and addresses teams that leave critical knowledge with one person. 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.
Underlying skills
These skills inherit the assessment route and the behavioural anchors of this construct.
