10. Assessment Evaluation Phase
• Some of the subject areas that we assess cannot be accurately
evaluated via a written assessment – they have to be conducted
through a personal interview.
• We believe that appropriate personal subject interviewing
supported by valid and appropriate assessments can provide the
most accurate information for evaluation

11. Performance Plan Phase
Developmental Action Initiatives (Performance Solutions):
• In this phase we provide assessment feedback and education to the subject
(and the client when different).
• The results are compared to the program objectives, performance gaps are
identified, and consensus (agreement) is obtained as per the prioritized
issues to be addressed.
• The key developmental initiatives (solutions) are identified and relevant
information and advice pertaining to each is provided.
