The Excellerate Program assists your organization with determining how current high-potential employees might perform if given the opportunity to advance within the company. Using the Lominger Competency Model, The Delta Institute conducts research to identify the competencies and skills existing top performers share. Your company then provides high-potential employees who participate in an intensive process that results in receiving targeted feedback included in an Individualized Development Plan.
The Excellerate assessment process helps identify opportunities for development across all competencies.
Example: High-performing sales managers are interviewed to determine the competencies (e.g., communication, command skills, leadership ability, etc.) needed to be effective in sales management positions. Your organization identifies several sales representatives who have shown management potential. After attending the Excellerate Development Program, the individuals and their managers are given reports identifying the competencies they currently meet, as well as those that need to be developed further to be truly effective in the sales manager role.
The method chosen to accomplish this is based on assessment center methodology that has been shown to be an effective, valid, and reliable way to observe behavior in a simulated “day-in-the-life” of a particular position, and evaluate the effectiveness of that behavior.
After the Excellerate day is conducted, participants receive a personalized Feedback Report containing:
- Psychometric assessment interpretation
- Excellerate day observations and feedback
- Strengths and developmental recommendations
The participants’ managers receive “executive summaries” detailing the areas of strength and developmental recommendations for the individuals. This information can be used to collaborate with the employees on development priorities and plans.
