Taking entrepreneurial risk

Takes decisions with uncertain outcomes after weighing the possible loss and gain and stands behind the consequences.

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	Chooses a new working method within a safe assignment and reports in advance what could go wrong. works under supervision and follows instruction · routine, one variable at a time · own task
N3 Proficient	Takes a decision with limited information, names the largest risks and keeps a fallback option ready. sets own approach and seeks input proactively · several variables, some ambiguity · own team or process
N5 Leading	Commits organisation wide resources under high uncertainty, accounts for that choice and adjusts when the assumptions fail. 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.
