The Product
The System-3TM simulation-based, leadership assessment focuses on contextual decision-making, yielding a clear and accurate picture of how people perform at work.
How it Works
The System-3TM Leadership Simulation leverages proprietary simulation technology and benchmark data, along with leading-edge industrial-organizational psychology, creating a new paradigm for the understanding and assessment of human capital.
Video Simulation
An immersive and engaging simulation presents participants with complex, real-world business challenges drawn from extensive interviews with a diverse set of leading C-suite executives and measures how participants navigate and respond. This situational judgement test more closely resembles actual executive decision-making and the associated underlying tradeoffs, providing stronger predictive power and a better understanding of leadership performance.
Analysis and Reporting
Analysis of the results yields deep insights into decision-making processes, leadership style, and potential. A report referencing the S-3 BenchmarkTM, a unique, proprietary and unbiased benchmark of leadership performance, as well as relevant customized benchmarking (e.g., cross-industry, sector/organization-specific) provide clear, actionable insights to optimize decision making.
The Science
The System-3TM Leadership Simulation was developed by a team of industrial-organizational psychology experts, based on extensive leadership science and has been validated through a series of validity and reliability studies.
The System-3TM Leadership Simulation measures the essential leadership competencies for executive success. All the competencies are predictive of leadership performance, linked to leadership KPIs and thoroughly screened for bias.
