It
has often been said that the most precious resource an organization
has is its management talent. Whether the organization grows,
remains static, or declines is largely a function of how well
the members of the management team relate to one another and
their responsibilities. That's why the Managerial assessment
of proficiency or MAP is a special process to provides the
sort of Insights that are not possible through other diagnostic
tools. |
| MAP
is a fully integrated assessment center based approach using
a series of questionnaires to help determine not only a person's
current and potential skills as a manager but also how these
skills compare to thousands of others in the database. MAP
therefore helps your managers find and understand their fundamental
strengths: managerial strengths, without which leadership
skills cannot grow and flourish. It allows participants to
identify their weaknesses that may be hindering organizational
goals. Once identified and defined by MAP, these competencies
can be trained, practiced and mastered to help turned into
strengths.
The
Managerial Assessment of Proficiency is an objective video-driven,
competency-based, computer-scored program of Assessment, Interpretation,
and Development Planning. You'll be able to benchmark performance,
conduct a Needs Analyzis, schedule training based on needs,
obtain data for HR actions, and strengthen the partnership
between participants and their managers as they prepare and
implement their Individual Development Plans.
In
10 video episodes, Bill Taylor and his team of four supervisors
exhibit a range of 12 key managerial competencies as they
simulate what happens during a typical work week. Participants
will evaluate the actions of Taylor and his coworkers and
see parallels from their own experience. |
ASSESSMENT
The assessment portion of the Managerial Assessment of Proficiency
makes use of case method and simulation presented in video/workbook
format. The episodes are drawn from a week in the life of
Bill Taylor's department: Administrative Services. Responses
are scored by computer.
INTERPRETATION
This session examines the composite (group/class) Proficiency
Profile, using two group exercises and up to four videotapes
that focus on the 12 competencies. These exercises give managers
the feedback needed to interpret their personal and confidential
Profiles.
PLANNING
The third phase of the Managerial Assessment of Proficiency
begins with the premise that managers must take charge of
their own development. For the process to be effective, participants
must also take advantage of the resources and people who can
help. Participants and their managers will be creating an
Individual Development Plan that will become their personal
roadmap for ongoing managerial growth. (A copy of the last
two pages may go to THE CENTER FOR ORGANIZATIONAL DEVELOPMENT
for curriculum planning.)
Don't
let your managers continue their journey without this roadmap!
Each participant will receive the bar graph that shows their
individual scores, and a second that is a composite of the
group's performance. As you add to the data, you will be able
to generate a Proficiency Profile showing the competency norms
for your specific organization or any part of it - by level,
by department, or even by location. |
