Research-based feedback

Acumen materials and reports are the product of extensive research on skill development and the critical skills that enhance professional performance. Acumen® Team Skills is a reliable and valid instrument normed on professionals in more than 50 organisations – many of them in the Fortune 500. The 20 scales are grouped into 4 categories:

• Communication – skills that promote the exchange and understanding of information and ideas among co-workers.
• Working with Others – practices that promote the personal rapport, trust and support that enable high team functioning.
• Task Focus – skills involved in organising and performing work, solving problems, and making decisions in an effective goal-oriented way.
• Business Values – practices involved in exemplifying accountability, maintaining an awareness of customer needs, and ensuring quality and responsiveness to change.

Assessment

• The candidate is supplied with a computer based Windows-compatible disk.
• The candidate and additional raters (including Manager, Peers, Direct Reports, Internal Customers, External Customers and so on) each complete the questionnaire – the duration is approximately 15-20 minutes per rater.
• The candidate arranges for the disk to be passed from one rater to the next until all have completed the administration.
• The disk is then returned to Psych Press for scoring and report generation. The reports are returned within 24 hours and can be sent as a spiral bound hard copy report, or electronically by e-mail, depending on your preferences and speed with which the report is required.
• The candidate also receives a Participant Workbook to assist them in working through their report and maximising the feedback.
• Acumen is also available in paper/pencil format if preferred.
