Development Center

WHAT IS DEVELOPMENT CENTER?

Development Center (DC) is a highly reliable modern method for mapping the competences of your employees and defining their future development plans.
We typically prepare one- or two-day program for our clients' DCs. As part of the program, employees participate in individual and group situations (model situations, case studies, job psychodiagnostics, etc.) that correspond to the competences necessary for success in the given position in the given organization.
Our clients mot often use DC as an efficient tool in the following cases: creating personal measurable development plans, identification of internal talent, support of talents' further growth and development of management skills in employees on managerial positions.

HOW WILL DEVELOPMENT CENTER HELP THE COMPANY AND EMPLOYEES?

• You will get reliable and relevant information about the strengths and weaknesses of your employees that you would not be able to identify otherwise.
• You will be able to set precisely targeted development activities (training, coaching, mentoring) focusing on areas identified in the Development Center as requiring growth improvement, thus increasing your return on investment in employee development.
• You will be able to compare employees.
• Participants will be able to learn by imitation (participants often state that DC is a useful development experience).
• DC increases the competence of internal evaluators.
• DC will be accepted by your company as a fair and reliable method of HR decision making.

WHAT IS TYPICAL FOR OUR APPROACH?

• Complexity: We work on the entire process - we help clients define the required competences, we develop suitable forms of internal communication, we design and implement DC including feedback to all participants, we help companies develop the form and content of personal development plans.
• Careful analysis of the client's needs: Before each DC, we carefully investigate the objectives and aims of each project, all relevant circumstances, competences necessary for the performance of the specific position in the specific company, the client's expectations of a suitable DC design, etc.
• Professionalism: When implementing DC, we use teams of experienced professional facilitators, evaluators and, if necessary, actors.
• Specific and targeted activities: We always adapt activities according to the specifics of the position and the company. We use activities that best map the given competences. We develop situations that faithfully copy the participants' day-to-day activities such as "a day in the life of...". At the same time, we are able to develop DCs based on analogies such as "a day in the Himalayas". If appropriate for DC objectives, we are always ready to include outdoor activities.
