Individual Audit
On the basis of a very intensive audit day, which includes a detailed biographical interview supplemented by the evaluation of management diagnostic procedures carried out in preparation, various exercises and, if necessary, the performance of role plays, a detailed written assessment is prepared of the candidate's strengths and weaknesses as well as potential development opportunities and requirements. The potential analysis can focus both on an overall comprehensive assessment of the executive concerned and on a specific requirements profile to be compared. The results of the analysis are discussed - usually only after the candidate has given his or her approval - in a joint feedback meeting attended by the candidate's supervisor, the assessor and, if necessary, an HR representative of the company. At the end of the feedback meeting, development goals and the concrete measures to be derived from them are defined, backed up by a timetable.
Group Audit
A group of qualified executives at as comparable a hierarchical level as possible is offered the opportunity to participate in a competence or potential analysis process. Unlike a classic assessment center, the focus is on the development aspect that is necessarily associated with this measure. Particularly in the case of a non-voluntary decision to participate, the appreciation shown to the candidates and the opportunities associated with the measure for them must be convincingly communicated to them. - The procedure of the measure corresponds to that of the individual potential analysis. In addition, after all participants have been assessed, a comparative summary of all candidates is prepared for the commissioning company. The evaluation criteria to be applied here are defined in advance together with the client.
