Strategy & culture · CMA

Cultural Match Assessment

Explore how naturally a person’s workplace choices align with the distinctive culture and contribution expected at the organisation.

Typical completion time
Approximately 15–20 minutes
Professional use
Recruitment dialogue, onboarding, culture conversations and personal reflection when interpreted alongside other evidence.

What it is

The evidence behind it

Structured situational preference assessment: repeated choices across realistic situations reveal consistent value and behaviour themes more reliably than a single direct question.

Assessment experience

What participants complete

50 short workplace situations, each with two credible A/B responses. Choose the response closest to how you would usually think or act.

What you will discover

The insight provided

  • Cultural themes that feel most natural
  • Areas where conscious adaptation may help
  • How heritage, service, collaboration and delivery appear in choices

How to prepare

Before starting

Answer honestly from your usual behaviour, use first instinct and avoid choosing what you think an ideal candidate should say.

What the results look like

Professional output

A structured cultural-alignment profile with theme scores, interpretation and a premium individual report for authorised review.

What it is not

Responsible boundaries

It is not a personality diagnosis, a test of cultural background or a stand-alone recruitment decision. Neither option is designed to be obviously ‘bad’.

Value for the individual

Understand the the organisation environment more clearly and identify how to contribute authentically without losing your own perspective.

Value for the organisation

Supports fairer, evidence-led culture conversations and protects the standards needed for heritage, service and collaboration.

Development next step

Turn one lower theme into an observable practice to test during onboarding or a 30-day development conversation.

Strategy & culture · PSN

Typical completion time
Approximately 35–50 minutes
Professional use
Personal development, role contribution, career conversations, team complementarity and strategy-aligned goal setting.

What it is

The evidence behind it

Ipsative strengths assessment: forced choices between positive tendencies show relative preference and energy, helping distinguish signature strengths from capabilities that are simply available.

Assessment experience

What participants complete

170 carefully balanced forced-choice pairs. Select the statement that is more naturally like you in each pair.

What you will discover

The insight provided

  • Your core five strengths
  • The wider pattern and dominant contribution domain
  • How strengths can be underused, overused or combined

How to prepare

Before starting

Choose uninterrupted time, respond from your natural contribution rather than your job description and decide between the two positives without over-analysing.

What the results look like

Professional output

A controlled 22-page report covering the core five, supporting strengths, contribution patterns, risks and purposeful development actions.

What it is not

Responsible boundaries

It is not an ability test, competency rating, personality diagnosis or claim that a person can only contribute through five strengths.

Value for the individual

Gain language for what you do at your best and use that energy more intentionally in meaningful work.

Value for the organisation

Helps the organisation deploy diverse contribution, build complementary teams and connect individual energy with strategic needs.

Development next step

Choose one strength to apply to a live strategic challenge and one complementary strength to practise over the next 30–90 days.

Professional output

A premium combined report covering entry criteria, the full 3D9C behavioural profile, all five technical skills, integrated readiness interpretation, matched learning resources and a 30/60/90-day development plan.

What it is not

Responsible boundaries

It is not a guarantee of promotion, a complete performance appraisal or a substitute for qualifications, observed work evidence, manager judgement and formal workforce decisions.

Value for the individual

See the complete career-readiness picture in one place and focus development on the few behavioural and technical actions most likely to strengthen contribution and progression.

Value for the organisation

Creates a consistent, evidence-led view of readiness and capability priorities across the organisation’s professional career families while supporting focused development rather than generic training.

Development next step

Typical completion time
Allow up to 60 minutes
Professional use
Career planning, recruitment evidence, technical development, readiness review and targeted learning selection.

Typical completion time
Approximately 20–30 minutes
Professional use
IDP design, course selection, coaching, manager support, onboarding and improving transfer from learning into work.

What it is

The evidence behind it

Experiential learning preference: people may favour action, reflection, conceptual understanding or practical application, while effective development benefits from using the full learning cycle.

Assessment experience

What participants complete

32 realistic the organisation learning situations. Rank four positive responses from most to least like you, using every rank once in each set.

What you will discover

The insight provided

  • Your leading learning preference
  • Your blend across four approaches
  • How to stretch into less-used parts of the learning cycle

How to prepare

Before starting

Think about how you genuinely learn at work, rank all four responses and avoid giving the same rank twice in one situation.

What the results look like

Professional output

A detailed 26-page preference report with blend interpretation, risks, stretch guidance and practical development actions.

What it is not

Responsible boundaries

It is not a measure of intelligence or learning ability and does not mean a person can learn only in one prescribed way.

Value for the individual

Plan learning that is engaging enough to start and varied enough to create lasting application.

Value for the organisation

Improves learning transfer, helps managers support different learners and reduces one-size-fits-all development.

Development next step

Help colleagues explore the kinds of work, environments and career families that may provide energy, meaning and a promising direction for further investigation.

Typical completion time
Approximately 20–25 minutes
Professional use
Career conversations, internal mobility exploration, development planning and structured reflection before choosing a pathway.

The evidence behind it

Career-interest and person–environment fit: patterns across activities, interests, choices, preferred conditions and motives can be compared with career-family signatures to generate hypotheses for exploration.

Assessment experience

What participants complete

120 items across five evidence layers, completed through quick ratings and choices, then compared with all 29 professional career-family signatures.

What you will discover

The insight provided

  • Leading and adjacent career-family matches
  • The work themes and motives driving the pattern
  • Questions to test through real career exploration

How to prepare

Before starting

Answer from your own interests rather than status or current job expectations; use first instinct and treat the result as a starting point for evidence gathering.

What the results look like

Professional output

A 37-page individual report with ranked matches, interpretive context, adjacent options and a practical 90-day exploration plan.

What it is not

Responsible boundaries

It is not a selection test, vacancy recommendation, competence measure, promotion decision or instruction to leave a current career family.

Value for the individual

Turn vague career curiosity into a focused set of possibilities and sensible experiments.

Value for the organisation

Supports internal mobility, retention and better-informed development while making 29 pathways easier to understand.

Development next step

Use the top matches to arrange conversations, shadowing and a small work experiment before making a career decision.

Capability & career · WSI

Build a practical language for how a person prefers to gather information, decide, organise work and engage with people.

Typical completion time
Approximately 25–35 minutes
Professional use
Self-awareness, career reflection, communication, conflict, decision-making, stress management and personal-impact development.

What it is

The evidence behind it

Workplace preference assessment: repeated self-report statements and paired choices estimate relative preferences across four dimensions and combine them into one of sixteen workstyle patterns.

Assessment experience

What participants complete

80 workplace statements plus 20 paired preference choices, completed against the approved the organisation scoring model.

What you will discover

The insight provided

  • Your four preference dimensions and 16-profile pattern
  • Likely communication and decision tendencies
  • How preference may shift under pressure or different role demands

How to prepare

Before starting

Answer as you generally are at work—not how a role requires you to appear—and avoid trying to create a preferred profile.

What the results look like

Professional output

One of 16 profiles, with a choice of six premium application reports: Career, Stress Management, Decision Making, Conflict, Communication and Personal Impact.

What it is not

Responsible boundaries

It is not a clinical personality diagnosis, a measure of ability or maturity, or a reason to stereotype people or restrict career opportunity.

Value for the individual

Recognise your natural approach, explain it clearly and widen your options where the context requires something different.

Value for the organisation

Improves communication, inclusion, decision quality and the productive use of difference across the organisation.

Development next step

Choose the application report most relevant now and practise one opposite or balancing behaviour in a live work situation.

Capability & career · CRA

Conflict Response Assessment

Help people understand the conflict responses they reach for most readily and build greater choice in difficult conversations.

Typical completion time
Approximately 10–15 minutes
Professional use
Relationship development, manager coaching, team working, negotiation preparation and conflict debriefs.

What it is

The evidence behind it

Dual-concern conflict theory: responses vary in the attention given to one’s own outcome and to the other party or relationship, producing five useful modes suited to different conditions.

Assessment experience

What participants complete

30 balanced forced-choice pairs. Choose the statement that is more characteristic of your usual workplace response.

What you will discover

The insight provided

  • Your leading and supporting conflict modes
  • Responses that may be underused or overused
  • Situations where a different mode may be more effective

How to prepare

Before starting

Answer from usual behaviour, choose between the two credible statements and avoid selecting the response that sounds most diplomatic.

What the results look like

Professional output

A detailed personal report showing the five-mode profile, interpretation, contextual choices and practical development guidance.

What it is not

Responsible boundaries

It is not a judgement of character, a diagnosis or proof that one response is always best. Every mode can be constructive or unhelpful depending on context.

Value for the individual

Approach disagreement with more confidence, protect important relationships and still address the real issue.

Value for the organisation

Supports candid dialogue, quicker resolution and stronger collaboration across functions and partners.

Development next step

Identify one upcoming conversation, diagnose what the situation needs and deliberately practise a less-used response mode.

Team · TWI

Team Workstyles Indicator

Show how different workstyle preferences combine across a team and where those differences can strengthen or complicate delivery.

Typical completion time
Approximately 25–35 minutes per participant
Professional use
Team launch, reset, integration, leadership facilitation and deliberate design of team routines.

What it is

The evidence behind it

Team composition and preference diversity: aggregate patterns reveal the team’s natural operating centre, minority perspectives and potential blind spots without ranking one style above another.

Assessment experience

What participants complete

Team-code assessment with 80 workplace statements and 20 paired choices per participant. A team report becomes available after at least four completions.

What you will discover

The insight provided

  • The team’s combined preference pattern
  • Diversity, imbalance and missing perspectives
  • Implications for communication, decisions, change and delivery

How to prepare

Before starting

Use the correct eight-digit team code, answer independently and wait for at least four colleagues before producing the team interpretation.

What the results look like

Professional output

A premium aggregate team report that protects participant confidentiality and translates the pattern into team priorities and experiments.

What it is not

Responsible boundaries

It is not a ranking of members, a team performance score or permission to label individuals. The result describes preference, not competence.

Value for the individual

Understand why colleagues may approach the same work differently and adapt without assuming poor intent.

Value for the organisation

Helps the organisation teams use diversity deliberately and reduce friction in cross-functional strategy delivery.

Development next step

Agree one team routine that protects a minority perspective and review its effect after a 30–90 day work experiment.

Team · TCP

Team Contribution Profile

Identify the different contributions people naturally make to a team and help the whole team achieve a more balanced delivery pattern.

Typical completion time
Approximately 20–30 minutes per participant
Professional use
Team formation, project mobilisation, role clarity, collaboration, development and team-performance reviews.

What it is

The evidence behind it

Team-role contribution theory: effective teams need complementary contributions across ideas, connection, analysis, coordination, delivery, quality, expertise and support—not identical people.

Assessment experience

What participants complete

90 workplace statements rated by each participant through a secure team code. Team reporting starts after four completed profiles.

What you will discover

The insight provided

  • Your leading and secondary contribution roles
  • Strengths, risks and complementary partners
  • The team’s overall contribution coverage and gaps

How to prepare

Before starting

Answer from how you normally contribute, not the contribution your title demands; use the same team code and complete independently.

What the results look like

Professional output

An immediate premium individual impact report and, after four completions, a detailed aggregate team contribution report.

What it is not

Responsible boundaries

It is not a job description, hierarchy, ability test or instruction that a person should make only one kind of contribution.

Value for the individual

Describe the value you bring, notice overuse risks and ask for complementary contribution earlier.

Value for the organisation

Supports balanced teams, clearer contribution and stronger execution across complex the organisation priorities.

Development next step

Use the individual report immediately; once the team report is available, agree roles, hand-offs and one 90-day team experiment.

Team · TPW

Team Performance WatchPoints

Surface the team conditions that may limit trust, productive challenge, shared commitment, mutual accountability or collective results.

Typical completion time
Approximately 20–25 minutes per participant
Professional use
Team health checks, resets, leadership facilitation, project recovery and 90-day improvement planning.

What it is

The evidence behind it

Team climate and group-dynamics assessment: patterns across member perceptions indicate where team conditions support performance and where a watchpoint requires dialogue and action.

Assessment experience

What participants complete

30 controlled blocks completed through a team code. Each member receives an individual perspective; aggregate reporting starts after four completions.

What you will discover

The insight provided

  • Your perspective across five performance levels
  • The team’s strongest condition and priority watchpoint
  • Differences in perception that need a safe conversation

How to prepare

Before starting

Answer independently and honestly, use the correct team code and expect the aggregate report to use participant numbers rather than names.

What the results look like

Professional output

An immediate private individual perspective report and, after four completions, an anonymous premium team report and 90-day reset plan.

What it is not

Responsible boundaries

It is not an employee ranking, grievance investigation or proof that one member caused a team issue. Team reports anonymise participants.

Value for the individual

Name concerns constructively and understand where your own behaviour can strengthen team conditions.

Value for the organisation

Makes hidden barriers discussable before they undermine collaboration, wellbeing or strategy execution.

Development next step

Use the strongest watchpoint as a platform and agree one observable team practice for the priority risk, with evidence and review dates.

Leadership · LPP

Leadership Preference Profile

Reveal where a leader’s attention and energy are naturally drawn across the the organisation leadership contribution landscape.

Typical completion time
Approximately 20–25 minutes
Professional use
Leadership development, coaching, role transition, team dialogue and preparation for a broader leadership report.

What it is

The evidence behind it

Ipsative leadership preference: repeated choices between positive leadership contributions show relative emphasis and preferred orientation rather than absolute capability.

Assessment experience

What participants complete

72 forced-choice items, displayed eight at a time. Choose the contribution in each pair that is more naturally like you.

What you will discover

The insight provided

  • Your dominant and supporting leadership preferences
  • Potential blind spots and overused emphasis
  • How preference aligns with current leadership demands

How to prepare

Before starting

Answer from natural preference, choose between the two positive contributions and avoid trying to balance the profile artificially.

What the results look like

Professional output

A scored leadership preference profile and premium development report with interpretation, implications and practical actions.

What it is not

Responsible boundaries

It is not a leadership competency score, performance rating, maturity decision or pass/fail assessment.

Value for the individual

Understand your leadership instinct and consciously broaden attention when the situation needs a different contribution.

Value for the organisation

Encourages balanced leadership across strategy, people, stakeholders and delivery rather than one habitual emphasis.

Development next step

Choose one under-emphasised leadership contribution and practise it in a live priority, supported by feedback and review.

Assess how leaders judge realistic the organisation situations and balance the competing demands of strategy, people, heritage and delivery.

Typical completion time
50 minutes
Professional use
Leadership development, assessment, coaching, succession evidence and combined leadership reporting.

What it is

The evidence behind it

Situational judgement testing: response effectiveness in realistic scenarios provides structured evidence of applied judgement across defined competency domains.

Assessment experience

What participants complete

36 timed leadership scenarios. Identify the MOST and LEAST effective response in each situation.

What you will discover

The insight provided

  • Judgement across all nine leadership competencies
  • Strengths within Direction, Development and Delivery
  • Situations where decision quality can improve

How to prepare

Before starting

Set aside uninterrupted time, read the full context, distinguish attractive from effective responses and keep the organisation’s long-term standards in view.

What the results look like

Professional output

A nine-competency judgement profile and premium development report with domain patterns, strengths and targeted improvement actions.

What it is not

Responsible boundaries

It is not proof of day-to-day behaviour or a stand-alone promotion decision; results need to be combined with evidence and a debrief.

Value for the individual

Recognise how you reason through demanding leadership situations and practise more balanced responses.

Value for the organisation

Builds consistent leadership judgement around the situations most relevant to the organisation’s strategy and operating environment.

Development next step

Select two lower-scoring scenario themes, rehearse alternative responses and gather evidence from a comparable live situation.

Leadership · LEAD360

Leadership 360 Feedback

Compare a leader’s self-view with the experience of managers, peers, direct reports and other colleagues against observable the organisation behaviours.

Typical completion time
Approximately 15 minutes per rater
Professional use
Leadership development, coaching, succession preparation, team effectiveness and combined leadership reporting.

What it is

The evidence behind it

Multi-source feedback: combining perspectives reduces dependence on one viewpoint and reveals alignment, blind spots and differences in leadership impact.

Assessment experience

What participants complete

36 observable behaviours rated through a secure feedback code. Self and line-manager views are distinct; peer and direct-report groups require privacy thresholds.

What you will discover

The insight provided

  • Consistent leadership strengths
  • Self–other and rater-group gaps
  • Behaviours that most need reinforcement or development

How to prepare

Before starting

Rate observed behaviour rather than intention, use the full scale, protect confidentiality and provide feedback for the named leader and cycle.

What the results look like

Professional output

A privacy-protected multi-rater report showing self, line-manager, peer and direct-report patterns plus a focused development plan.

What it is not

Responsible boundaries

It is not an anonymous complaint channel, personality test or stand-alone performance or promotion decision.

Value for the individual

See how leadership is experienced, validate strengths and act on blind spots with greater confidence.

Value for the organisation

Strengthens feedback culture and creates evidence for targeted leadership capability building.

Development next step

Choose one recognised strength and two impact gaps, agree observable practices and request follow-up evidence after 90 days.

Leadership · CLA

Contextual Leadership Assessment

Help leaders diagnose task-specific readiness and adapt the balance of direction and support to the needs of the person and situation.

Typical completion time
Approximately 15–20 minutes
Professional use
People leadership, delegation, capability building, performance conversations and leadership coaching.

What it is

The evidence behind it

Contingency leadership: no single leadership response fits every task. Effective leaders adjust directing and supporting behaviour as capability and commitment change.

Assessment experience

What participants complete

24 the organisation scenarios, each describing a task-specific readiness pattern and four credible leadership responses.

What you will discover

The insight provided

  • Accuracy in diagnosing readiness
  • Preferred leadership responses and adaptability
  • Where direction or support may be over- or under-used

How to prepare

Before starting

Focus on the readiness evidence for the specific task—not the person’s general reputation—and choose the proportionate response.

What the results look like

Professional output

A live score profile and approved 27-page contextual leadership report covering diagnosis, adaptability and development.

What it is not

Responsible boundaries

It is not a fixed leadership-style label, employee capability rating or substitute for understanding the specific task and evidence.

Value for the individual

Delegate and coach with greater precision, reducing both over-management and premature autonomy.

Value for the organisation

Accelerates capability growth while protecting performance, accountability and employee confidence.

Development next step

Select two current team members and practise explicit task-readiness diagnosis before agreeing the next leadership response.

Leadership · SSA

Shadow Self Assessment

Help leaders notice how valuable strengths may become less helpful when pressure rises, intensity increases or context changes.

Typical completion time
Approximately 20–25 minutes
Professional use
Leadership coaching, transition, resilience, succession development and preparation for high-pressure responsibility.

What it is

The evidence behind it

Strength-overuse and derailment-risk theory: positive tendencies can create unintended impact when overused, poorly timed or disconnected from situational needs.

Assessment experience

What participants complete

55 balanced triads across eleven the organisation shadow-risk scales. Choose one MOST and a different LEAST like you under pressure.

What you will discover

The insight provided

  • Leading and supporting pressure risks
  • The strength beneath each shadow pattern
  • Triggers, impact and balancing responses

How to prepare

Before starting

Answer honestly about pressure behaviour, not your calm-day ideal, and approach the result with curiosity rather than defensiveness.

What the results look like

Professional output

A live eleven-scale profile and complete 73-page development report with risks, strengths, triggers and practical safeguards.

What it is not

Responsible boundaries

It is not a clinical diagnosis, a search for flaws or proof that a risk will appear in every situation.

Value for the individual

Keep the value of your strengths while gaining more choice when pressure would otherwise narrow your response.

Value for the organisation

Reduces avoidable leadership risk and supports more resilient, self-aware decision-making in critical roles.

Development next step

Identify one trigger, one early warning sign and one balancing behaviour; invite a trusted colleague to notice the evidence.

Leadership · EQA

Emotional Intelligence Assessment

Explore the emotional capabilities that support self-management, relationships, leadership impact, resilience and sound judgement.

Typical completion time
Approximately 20–30 minutes
Professional use
Leadership development, coaching, wellbeing reflection, relationship effectiveness and role-transition planning.

What it is

The evidence behind it

Ability-informed competency modelling: emotional effectiveness is represented through connected capabilities involving self-awareness, expression, interpersonal skill, decision-making and stress management.

Before starting

Answer from typical workplace behaviour, avoid an idealised leadership image and complete the assessment when you can reflect calmly.

What the results look like

Professional output

An on-screen profile plus premium Individual and Leadership Impact reports with practical development guidance.

What it is not

Responsible boundaries

It is not a clinical mental-health assessment, measure of worth or stand-alone selection, performance or promotion decision.

Value for the individual

Recognise emotional strengths and build more deliberate responses in relationships, decisions and pressure.

Value for the organisation

Supports healthier leadership, stronger collaboration, better stakeholder experience and more resilient execution.

Development next step

Choose one emotional capability, one recurring trigger and one observable practice to test and review over 30–90 days.

Approximately 30–40 minutes
Professional use
Self-awareness, coaching, leadership, relationships, career reflection and personal development planning.

What you will discover

The insight provided

  • Your leading pattern and broader nine-pattern profile
  • Motivators, pressure tendencies and potential blind spots

How to prepare

Before starting

Respond from recurring workplace patterns, not the person you wish to be, and avoid choosing answers to force a familiar label.

What the results look like

Professional output

A live nine-pattern profile and complete 31-page premium results and development report.

What it is not

Responsible boundaries

It is not a clinical diagnosis, ability test or claim that a person is only one pattern. It should not be used alone for employment decisions.

Typical completion time
Approximately 20–25 minutes
Professional use
Relationship development, team working, coaching, stakeholder management, leadership and conflict prevention.

What participants complete

54 balanced relationship choices, with two clearly separated response questions for each relational situation.

What you will discover

The insight provided

  • Six expressed and wanted relationship scales

What the results look like

Professional output

A live six-scale profile and complete 90-page premium relationship development report.

What it is not

Responsible boundaries

It is not a clinical assessment, popularity score, ability test or stand-alone employment decision.

Value for the individual

Understand what you signal to others, what you seek from them and where unspoken differences may create friction.

Value for the organisation

Strengthens collaboration, inclusion, psychological safety and stakeholder relationships across the organisation.

AC11 · Combined assessment pathway

Operational Reliability Combination

Test the ability to use data, process information efficiently and maintain accuracy when reliable execution matters.

Designed for
Operational, quality, service, control and high-accuracy roles
Typical completion time
Approximately 90-95 minutes

The need

What this pathway addresses

Operational failure can arise from weak data interpretation, overloaded processing or missed discrepancies; one general ability score cannot show which mechanism needs support.

The approach

How the evidence works together

Examine three separate capabilities and connect lower dimensions to focused practice rather than applying a generic reliability label.

AC01 · Combined assessment pathway

Personal Development Combination

A four-lens profile of how you learn, work, what drives you and how your behaviour is experienced.

Designed for
Employees, managers, coaches and talent-development programmes
Typical completion time
Approximately 90-120 minutes across multiple sittings

The need

What this pathway addresses

Development plans often become generic because they rely on a single style label or isolated questionnaire, missing the interaction between learning preference, workstyle, motivation and behaviour under pressure.

The approach

How the evidence works together

Connect the four lenses without averaging them, then translate the recurring themes and tensions into a small number of practical development priorities.

Assessment pathway

What it includes

LPQ

Learning Preference Questionnaire

Preferred learning route and stretch route

WSI

Work Styles Indicator

Workstyle, communication and decision preferences

PPP

Personality Pattern Profile

Motivation, pressure response and growth direction

PIP

Personal Insights Profile

Integrated behavioural forces and development range

Best used for

Where it adds value

  • Individual development planning and coaching
  • Role transition or promotion preparation
  • Manager-employee development conversations
  • Designing learning that fits while building range

Professional outputs

What you receive

  • Four individual assessment reports
  • Integrated personal-development summary
  • Cross-assessment consistencies, tensions and pressure watchpoints
  • 30-60-90 day plan and manager coaching questions

Participant experience

How the pathway is completed

  1. Complete four assessments in separate, saveable sittings
  2. Review the integrated pattern rather than seeking one type
  3. Validate hypotheses with work examples and feedback
  4. Select no more than three 90-day development priorities

AC02 · Combined assessment pathway

Personal Discovery Combination

Connect strengths, relationship needs and conflict response into one practical picture of contribution and interpersonal impact.

Designed for
Employees, coaches, managers and intact teams
Typical completion time
Approximately 75-95 minutes

The need

What this pathway addresses

People may know what they are good at without understanding what they seek from relationships or how they respond when interests collide, creating avoidable friction.

The approach

How the evidence works together

Show how strengths create value, which relationship conditions support them and how conflict response may protect or reduce that value.

Assessment pathway

What it includes

PSN

Personal Strengths Navigator

Signature strengths and contribution energy

RMA

The Relate Map Assessment

Expressed and wanted relationship needs

CRA

Conflict Response Assessment

Conflict modes, assertiveness and cooperativeness

Best used for

Where it adds value

  • Coaching and personal insight
  • Relationship and stakeholder effectiveness
  • Conflict prevention and repair
  • Team integration and collaboration development

Professional outputs

What you receive

  • Strengths profile and contribution narrative
  • Six-scale relationship map
  • Conflict mode and orientation profile
  • Integrated interpersonal-impact summary and practical experiments

Participant experience

How the pathway is completed

  1. Identify core and supporting strengths
  2. Explore expressed-versus-wanted relationship patterns
  3. Review conflict-response range across five modes
  4. Test the profile against recent workplace situations

AC13 · Combined assessment pathway

Strategic Leadership Ability Combination

A senior-level battery for critical judgement, executive planning, systems reasoning and quantitative evidence.

Designed for
Senior managers, executives, succession candidates and strategic-role pipelines
Typical completion time
Approximately 140 minutes across multiple sittings

The need

What this pathway addresses

Strategic roles require leaders to test assumptions, interpret evidence, prioritise competing demands and anticipate consequences across complex systems.

The approach

How the evidence works together

Combine four distinct maximum-performance assessments while preserving each construct and testing relevance against the real strategic role.

Assessment pathway

What it includes

MMAC

Managerial Assumptions, Arguments and Conclusions

Critical thinking and logical evidence evaluation

EPPA

Executive Planning and Prioritisation Assessment

Executive planning and dynamic prioritisation

SRCPS

Systems Reasoning and Complex Problem Solving Assessment
