Could anyone supply me with information on the latest developments/research on assessment / development centres? This would relate to centres which link to promotion and/or personal development - not recruitment. I am currently undertaking a review of my organisation's current approach to assessment and development and I am looking for examples of best practice etc.

assesment/development centres
One of my favourite topics. An awful lot of information I could provide. But of particular interest might be new approaches to supporting self managed assessment rather than the traditional approach employed by assessement/development centres. Please email me jon.kendall@castletonpartners.co.uk and we can identify what might be of most use.

Deciding who is going to ‘make the grade’ in your promotion processes is critical to your future success. Training and development costs aside, making the wrong decision can have devastatingly expensive and long lasting effects on performance. The raft of selection tools currently available can serve to confuse rather than help.
ConsultST’s assessment centres specifically tailor a variety of individually effective tools to your business requirements, and design them to work together to give you the best predictors of success.
The competences you need for success are carefully codified before designing your assessment centre so that our consultants can be certain of identifying top performing candidates with the success criteria you need. ConsultST’s assessment centres design your management team into the process so that recruiting decisions are owned by you, resulting in faster integration of new hires into the organisation.
Development Centres take the assessment process inside your organisation and not only help you to identify key talent for the future, but also give participants and their managers action plans to make the most of their skills. Whether you are looking to set up a new team from a pool of existing staff, or to boost your succession planning process, ConsultST’s development centres can help.
