2. Saville Consulting's first product launch was titled
'Assessment Innovations – A quantum leap'
Here are our ten quantum leaps in ten years.

3. 1: Performance-driven design
3
Wave's performance-driven
'validation-centric'
methodology, enables us
to maximize on the
assurance that the
questionnaire measures
performance at work,
thus increasing the
return on investment for
our customers.
4. 2: Higher validity in forecasting effectiveness at work
4
Wave's superior validity in
forecasting overall
effectiveness at work, and
being able to forecast an
external model of work
competencies more
effectively has been
demonstrated in a co-validation
research study.
5. 3: Aligned model of potential and performance
5
A direct link between
motive, talent and
effective performance at
work, produces a
competency potential
score that can be tailored
to reflect organizational
competencies, leadership
frameworks and values.

4: Motives and talents
Wave was the first
questionnaire to
encompass both motives
(what drives performance)
and talent (the aspects an
individual is good at)
within a single
questionnaire.

5: Wave deep dives
Our three Wave deep dives
harness the power of the
internet to provide information
on areas of interest in candidate
reports (Facet splits),
differences between areas they
are good at and where their
interest lies (Motive-Talent
splits), and highlights
differences between their rating
and ranking responses
(Normative-Ipsative splits)
giving insight into how that
individual may perform under
pressure.
8. 6: Dynamic response format
8
Wave's dynamic online
response format helps gain
an appreciation of the
overall self-perception of the
responder, whilst helping to
control excessive self-critical
and lenient responding.
9. 7: Detailed facet level measurement
9
Two item facet scales
composed of one motive
and one talent item
measure highly-specific
behavioral areas. These
short facet scales provide
a good spread of scores,
are reliable and forecast
individual behavioral areas
effectively.

8: Culture fit
Wave's valuable culture fit
data helps individuals
consider what's important
for them in their working
environment and enables
them to select themselves
out of jobs which are less
appropriate for them.

9: Swift aptitude
The innovative use of
sub-tests which produce
our Swift combined tests,
allows the rapid
assessment of multiple
ability areas in one
efficient and effective
test.
12. 10: Random assessments & Pace scores
12
'-R' assessments feature
variable content that allow
separate candidates to see
different but statistically
comparable tests
constructed from banks of
questions, alleviating
issues in the security of
online testing. Pace scores
provide information about
the individual's test taking
approach.
