The Competencies assessment measures the development of 25 personal skills (or soft skills) required in any job, ranking them from ‘developed” to “needs development’.
Our research has shown that, for many jobs, personal skills are just as important as technical skills in producing superior performance. Personal skills are often transferable to different jobs, whereas technical skills are usually more specific.
The DNA assessment helps:
- Guide professional development
- Improve organizational performance
- Support targeted coaching and training
- Enhance role alignment
- Identify strengths and development opportunities
We examine the following personal skills:
Appreciating Others
Conflict Management
Continuous Learning
Creativity and Innovation
Conceptual Thinking
Customer Focus
Decision Making
Diplomacy
Employee Development/Coaching
Flexibility
Futuristic Thinking
Goal Orientation
Influencing Others
Interpersonal Skills
Leadership
Negotiation
Personal Accountability
Planning and Organizing
Problem Solving
Project Management
Resiliency
Self-starting
Teamwork
Time and Priority Management
Understanding Others
The great thing about competencies is that you can actively work to improve them, since they’re experience-based. This is the perfect assessment tool to help you build a development plan.
