Immersive Assessment of Top Leadership
The Challenge
A leading global Fortune 500 Pharma company with presence across the globe. The client was looking for a comprehensive Assessment methodology for 44 of the top leaders (MD-1 and MD-2) as an input to their Organizational Developmental initiatives. The challenges faced by the client were:
-
There was no clear understanding of the current skill and competency levels of the top leaders
-
A culture of open feedback did not exist in the organization
-
Leaders had not been assessed in the past on their capabilities leading to scepticism about the initiative.
The Approach
We customized our Immersive Assessment to suit the need of the client. We took a comprehensive approach to assessment that included the following:
01
Assessed awareness and application of all competencies through a questionnaire.
02
Case Studies were used to measure scenario based application thoroughness.
03
One-on-one interviews were scheduled to measure clarity of thought of each of the leaders.
04
A comprehensive 360-degree feedback was obtained to ensure fairness to the process
05
Every P&L owner was coached to elevate their thinking and demonstrate positive needle movement in business results
06
A detailed report was produced for each individual leader laying the roadmap for future development and succession planning.
