The #1 Video-Based Management Assessment and Development Programin the World!
(MAP) The Managerial Assessment of Proficiency® Competency-Based Assessment & Training
Overview:
The Managerial Assessment of Proficiency (MAP) is the premier assessment of managerial competence in the marketplace. MAP is a video driven, competency based assessment that provides participants an objective rating of proficiency in 12 fundamental managerial competencies and important information on 10 styles and values.
In 10 video episodes, Bill Taylor and his team of four supervisors exhibit a range of managerial competencies as they simulate what happens during a typical workweek. Participants can see parallels from their own experience base as they evaluate the actions of Taylor and his coworkers.
MAP is a proven tool for pinpointing and charting managerial strengths and weaknesses as compared to norms developed from over 100,000 managers in 800 companies. With MAP you can objectively identify the area of greatest developmental need. Targeted training, workshops, and coaching sessions are available for each MAP competency with our Managing to Excel program.
Superior Buy In:
MAP provides superior buy-in by all company stakeholders, so that you can rest assured that all your managers have attained basic competency skill levels.
Participant's buy-in because the MAP assessment videos depict realistic management scenarios.
Trainer's buy-in because objective MAP data provides objective information on competence based on correct and incorrect responses.
Management buys-in because aggregate training needs are objectively identified and targeted training materials are available to close skill gaps fast.
