Making progress measurable

Matchmaking with competencies

Competency diagnostic tools are an important tool to ensure that an
organization has the capability to realize its goals. In this context, the
term "competence" is usually defined as follows:
A competence is the sum of all abilities, skills, knowledge,
personality and behavioral characteristics that serve as the basis for
successfully and effectively fulfilling a function in an organization in
such a way that the achievement of strategic corporate goals is
supported.
And this definition is also relevant for the tool you are about to
learn more about.

The OutMatch ASSESS by SCHEELEN® tool

Let me jump in with some background information: The competence
diagnostic tool OutMatch ASSESS by SCHEELEN® is based on the
ASSESS competence system, which was originally developed by
Bigby, Havis & Associates, a consulting firm from the USA
specializing in test procedures and assess- ment centers. The
German version was developed by myself and SCHEELEN® AG and has
been continuously refined and expanded. OutMatch ASSESS by
SCHEELEN® replaces the ASSESS competence system we have been
offering since 2004. Worldwide, more than 3,800 customers with
about 12 million analyses per year are already using this new
concept.

The tool enables the holistic strategic development of the
entire company, individual divisions and departments but also
of teams and managers as well as employees. It allows a
competence-oriented corporate and personnel development.
