Tools for Assessment and Development Centres

This complete toolkit of exercises and activities enables managers to design and implement their own assessment and development centres and to evaluate their effectiveness. The tools are laid out in a systematic "chain link model" and comprehensively cover each stage of the process. An overview introduces the tools, and provides practical guidance. The four sets of tools cover: defining criteria/competencies for the centres; designing assessment exercises; preparing the people involved - the assessors, participants and managers; and auditing the centres. The authors at Pearn Kandola have written "Tools for a Learning Organisation", "Job Analysis" and "Managing the Mosaic".
