proselect - Selection and Assessment Centre

Assessing Individual’s Development Needs
In most cases your organisation will manage projects utilising the collective experience of each individual in the project team, these people may have a collection of other qualifications.  Edison firmly believe that there is little point in repetitive development and will therefore use a range of approaches to identify each individuals specific development needs.
 
Approach to Individual Assessment
There are several choices we can make in assessing your people;

• One to one interviews using members of our consultant team, most of whom are experienced project managers in a variety of business environments. Interviewers are trained to identify competency elements in individuals and map these to best practice international standards.
  
  
• Questionnaires that we have developed are constructed to identify capability and are mapped to the APM Body of Knowledge (BoK). Each individual receives a full feedback report outlining their existing skill set in relation to each section of the BoK.  The report is in an easy to read format using spider plots and bulleted information together with a full summary of personal development recommendations.
  
  
• Edison proselect is a two day assessment centre which can be used to either recruit new project managers or assess project managers against 30 elements of capability. proselect is more commonly used to assess or select more experienced project managers over the complete life cycle of the project. A comprehensive report is produced on each individual showing evidence of capability and comprehensive feedback on areas for improvement.

• Specific psychometric instruments that will test specific areas of strength and development needs.  These may be in areas such as leadership, team roles, emotional intelligence or conflict management.  These questionnaires are administered by qualified occupational psychologists to ensure that all analysis and feedback is conducted in the most effective way possible.

What assessment method works best?
It is common for us to use a combination of assessment tools depending on the objectives of the process. Tools choice used for assessment may differ from those used in the selection process or training needs. Whatever we decide you can be assured that the decisions made, based on the information obtained from the assessment process, will be the best possible.

In response to the assessment process Edison can then provide full ongoing support.  This may take the form of specific training courses to supplement existing skills and knowledge and coaching or mentoring to develop more advanced skill sets. We will help you make the best decisions and ultimately ensure that your project managers become better at managing projects, managing people and managing your business...
