According to a Conference Board research report, “Evidence-Based Human Resources”, the strategic future of HR lies in the profession’s success in developing a set of decision science standards comparable to those that serve as the foundation for fields such as finance and marketing.
As such, a strategic HR Partner is now expected to be equipped with the knowledge of specific assessment tools that provide for an evidence-based approach to HR practices within an organisation.
The Center for Creative Leadership (CCL) has been at the forefront of research and development of such tools. Over the years, CCL has developed various 360 tools, including the Executive Dimensions®, Benchmarks®, 360 BY DESIGN®, SKILLSCOPE® and the Global Leader View 360 to specifically focus on leaders at different levels.
CCL 360 Assessment Suite
The 360 Assessment Suite, helps to create leaders who are not only highly skilled at their work in terms of professional competence but who also make a positive impact upon their organisations and people that they work with. These assessments provide organisations with data to help them make informed decisions on their talent management and succession planning practices, and ultimately achieve their business goals.
360-degree feedback allows for systematic collection of opinions about an individual’s performance from a wide range of co-workers. This could include peers, direct reports, the supervisor, the supervisor’s peers – along with people outside the organisation, such as customers. By collecting data this way, the leader gets to see a panorama of perceptions rather than just self-perception, which affords a more complete picture, making the leader more self-aware.
“It is a good feeling to think that through your leadership you can influence someone’s quality of life and help improve the world of the next generation. We talk about how small the world is becoming. Even better, it is becoming a connected world,” says Antony Thomas, HR Director, AJES/Washington Group consortium in Qatar.
CCL’s 360 debuted in 1986 and has been constantly refined and improved. Additionally, CCL has one of the largest benchmarking databases in the world. Since 1970, more than 500,000 leaders from different parts of the world have attended CCL’s program.
CCL continues to update its 360 tools as new research findings or advancing technology warrant.
