According to Gartner, organizations continue to rank leadership development as a top priority. Leader assessment for development is central to this effort, with over 80% of organizations using some form of leader assessment.
Recently, a new generation of digitally-enabled assessment and development tools have emerged, fueled by advances in big data, machine learning, and artificial intelligence. These new tools (e.g., pulse surveys, virtual coaching tools, wearables) offer greater precision, objectivity, scalability, and personalization. Their hyper-personalized approach to on-the-job development helps leaders become more effective and sustain their change efforts over time by offering clear learning goals, real-time feedback, access to new knowledge, coaching, stress management, and more. But what tools are companies actually using, and what are they expecting to use in the future?
This webinar will share the results of our recent research study investigating these questions and more. We will share which digitally-enabled assessment and development tools organizations currently use and where they plan to invest in the future. We will discuss reported barriers to implementation, including cost, organizational buy-in and privacy concerns. We’ll also highlight real examples of how organizations apply these tools to enable continuous, on-the-job development.
