Pinsight
Pinsight uses computer based simulations to predict an individual’s potential to execute strategy for competitive advantage. The simulations place the individual in a role within a fictitious company and assess how they deal with a series of relevant challenges and tasks such as emails, facilitating a coaching conversation with a direct report, managing a customer meeting or presenting strategic recommendations to a superior. Certified assessors are used to evaluate the candidate’s behaviours and are ready live to act as the characters within the scenario for any spontaneous communications the candidates want to make. The candidate receives an interactive report to enable them to evaluate their performance and potential in different contexts as well as pinpoint the most impactful areas for their development.
This technology based simulation is ground-breaking in the world of assessment and can be 80% cheaper to deliver than a traditional face-to-face assessment centre approach, whilst providing comparable quality of data.
