BACKGROUND
The Centre of Excellence (CoE) for the General Secretariat to The Executive Council (GSEC) identified a requirement to assess the leadership performance of a number of its selected Executive Directors, and to create an assessment for continuing use. Having worked closely with GSEC and the CoE for two years, they selected HRD as their partner based on their proven experience of delivering leadership assessment to Emiratis and adhering to challenging timelines.
PROJECT
Working closely with the Centre of Excellence, we designed a bespoke assessment process that included personality profiling, abilities tests, business simulation assessment, competency based interviews, one to one feedback and full individual and organisational reports. We then handed over all of the assessment centre materials to the Centre of Excellence to be used for future assessments.
