organization’s current needs.

their correlation with corporate strategies.
• Review the internal decision-making processes that have impact on organizational strategies.

15. Top Management Assessment
For the top management and executive levels we apply our global methodology HAR-BCR (Human Asset Review and
Business Culture Review). The main characteristics of this methodology, includes: alignment to corporate
strategies and objectives, in-house and market benchmarking, cross-validations, modular structure that allows
customized solutions for very type of client.
The methodology of "Simulated Assessment“, also applied to the levels of Senior Management and Executive
Management, analyzes the development degree of behavioral skills. The executive is individually assessed by
simulations, customized to his/her area. The methodology provides a transparent and objective analysis of the
professional’s profile.
Middle Management Assessment
For Middle Management levels and Job Experts, we also apply the methodology of "Simulated Assessment", similar
to the Assessment of the upper levels.
The differential of this assessment model is that it can be applied either individually or in groups, suitable when
there is a significant number of professionals – with the same job scope – to be assessed, providing agility and
assertiveness.
