Assess Professional is easily customised to your model of success. If you already have a competency model defined, Assess reports can be linked to your existing model. Or, use our Strategic Success Modeling (SSM) process to quickly and easily build (or revise) a model.

SSM is a facilitated process with job content experts that allows you to:

• Align people-strategy with business-strategy
• Define the competencies that are important for success in a role.
• Customise competencies from the Assess Competency Library
• Add custom competencies as needed
• Customise reports to focus on the key competencies

Efficient and Cost Effective

After a two-day workshop with supporting materials, you will have immediate use of the customised model, selection reports, development reports and 360 assessments.

The underlying Assess Competency library has 38 competencies addressing the areas of Thinking, Working and Relating. For each competency, we have developed definitions and identified representative behaviours.

Company-specific success models are typically constructed from 10-15 of these competencies with some drawn from each of the three general areas.

Assess Strategic Success Modeling is a process by which an organisation, with the facilitation of an SSM consultant, can easily develop a new competency model for a position or group of positions, or can update an existing, outdated model.

Model building is initiated with a card-sort process that is facilitated with competency cards and sorting pads for participants. The overall process is facilitated with computer software that is downloaded from the Assess web site.

The Assess SSM library was intentionally designed to accommodate the different levels of competence that might be expected for different levels of job responsibilities within an organisation.

If a model has not been developed or the current model is out-of-date and needs revising, a new or revised model can be developed quickly and easily using the Strategic Success Model building process.

We have already linked our library to many well-known competency modeling systems. Yours may be one of them

As a result of the Assess Strategic Success Modeling process, an organisation will have a tailored competency model aligned with the organisation's business objectives.

This model is then integrated into the Assess Expert System to provide a range of reports:

• Validation Report shows the links between the model with the job
• Competency Selection Reports with a tailored Interview Guide
• Competency Development Reports
• Competency Assess360 Feedback Reports
