Development Centre Consultancy

Development Centre Consultancy

Scientific research supports that Development centres are one of the absolute best ways to assess talent and predict the development needs of high potentials. Development centres allow for assessment of multiple competencies, by multiple trained observers, by way of multiple exercises. Development centres can only sustain their good record of scientific validity if the exercises are well designed and reflect the requirements of the role being assessed for.

PsyAsia International has a proud history of working with Asia’s top organizations and Governments, particularly in Singapore and Hong Kong, to train Development centre observers and in providing Development centre Design Consultancy.

Psychologists review your internally designed Development Centres

Clients also use this consultancy service to have our Psychologists go over Development Centres that they have designed themselves. In such cases we provide feedback on, for example, how well the competencies are defined, how well the exercises assess the desired competencies, the clarity of instructions for the assessors and candidates, and how well the scoring system works to reflect true performance and offer a reliable and valid process.
