assessment and development centres

The term Assessment And Development Centres does not refer to a physical place, instead it describes an approach. Traditionally Assessment And Development Centres consisted of a suite of exercises designed to assess a set of personal characteristics, it was seen as a rather formal process where the individuals being assessed had the results fed back to them in the context of a simple yes/no selection decision. However, recently there has been a definite shift in thinking away from this traditional view of an Assessment And Development Centres to one which stresses the developmental aspect of assessment. A consequence of this is that today it is very rare to come across an Assessment And Development Centres which does not have at least some developmental aspect to it, increasingly Assessment And Development Centres are stressing a collaborative approach which involves the individual actively participating in the process rather than being a passive recipient of it. In some cases we can even find assessment centres that are so developmental in their approach that most of the assessment work done is carried out by the participants themselves and the major function of the centre is to provide the participants with feedback that is as much developmental as judgmental in nature.
