Through 360-degree feedback tools and Assessment Centres.
An assessment tool designed by our senior consultants, that provides leaders with an understanding of others' perceptions of their leadership performance, as compared to their self-perception on the same analysed dimensions.
We developed Leadership@360 with the following management levels in mind: Executive, Top & Middle Management.
Leadership@360 measures 8 leadership competencies (each of them being defined by a number of specific behavioural indicators):
Leading People
Motivating People
Developing People
Planning & Organizing
Analytical & Anticipatory Thinking
Communication
Change Management
Personal Approach

An Assessment & Development Centre (A&DC) is a series of individual and group activities (simulations) - such as role-playing games, group discussions, presentations, case studies, interviews - created in order to determine the level of skills and abilities required for a particular position in the organisation.
The A&DC is a standardised process, which allows each participant to show their ability against the same benchmark. Strictly speaking, it is an evaluation process, with competency development in mind.
Participants are assessed based on a set of key competencies previously agreed upon, in order to identify their respective strengths and development gaps.
An A&DC is NOT a training or workshop (although there are similarities).
An A&DC attempts to replicate, as much as possible, the types of tasks that are required / would be required from the participant to solve / manage in the targeted job.

Besides Leadership@360, designed internally by our senior consultants, we are certified to use other tools from partner companies, such as Thomas International and Human Synergistics International: Leadership/Impact®, Management/Impact®, Life Styles Inventory™, Management Effectiveness Profile System™, ACUMEN® Leadership WorkStyles™.
Yes, we've got you covered. :-)
Yes, our competency and behavioural indicators kit, as well as exercises, assessment report and other templates are available in English, as well.
We have evaluated over 2000 people (from various organizational and managerial levels) by means of Assessment Centres and over 300 managers with 360-degree feedback tools (over 260 just by means of Leadership@360).
All assessment scores are routinely recorded in the AIMS Assessment Database and contribute to a highly relevant benchmark, both on competencies and hierarchical levels.
''We’ve been working with AIMS consultants on assessment projects since 2013. They have always been receptive and understood our requirements and expectations.
We appreciate their commitment, flexibility, as well as their availability to solve the unexpected while running the assessment process.
We continue to be impressed by the excellent professional level of the assessment centres they design and implement, which makes their assessment reports complex, comprehensive, well structured, thus supporting the right business decisions.''
Carmen Stroe I former HR Director, Schaeffler Romania
Not only do we run Assessment Centres for our clients, but we have also started to share our expertise through a Certification Programme – THE ASSESSMENT ACADEMY.
The Academy aims to develop those competencies necessary for the evaluation of candidates from the Team Leader job level, as well as offer know-how and the entire documentation our client might need in order to independently run Assessment Centres dedicated to this target group (Team Leaders).
In brief, participants in THE ASSESSMENT ACADEMY will benefit from:
training sessions (in-person or virtual)
The Complete Assessment Kit (competencies, behavioural indicators, activities, various templates, including assessment report templates)
on-going mentoring from AIMS consultants
As with any certification programme, participants will finish The Academy with a certification exam.
Fast Track
Alternatively, if you don’t need a certification and you are just getting started with Assessment and Development Centres, you can join the 3-day training programme Implementing Assessment Centres - Foundations.
It’s a highly practical and hands-on course aimed at HR professionals and business leaders from companies looking to independently run in-house Assessment and Development Centres.
Let's connect and grab a virtual coffee together.
