We provide an internet based assessment and support system centre throughout the Middle East and Cyprus that utilizes the cost savings of technology. Although the assessments are administered electronically and on-line, trained facilitators provide personal feedback either face to face or via phone, as well as a written report.
We offer the LPA™ a fully computerised ‘expert’ psychometric assessment system and the EDA™ a 360-degree questionnaire.
LPA™ is a uniquely powerful integrated assessment. It’s a computerised psychometric assessment system which combines 6 assessments to cover 29 behavioural characteristics
LPA™ covers Team Roles, Conflict Handling, Work Styles, Learning Styles, Personality, Professional / Managerial Style. These are six key areas that condition how executives function as members of a managerial team. This gives LPA™ a major advantage over other psychometric assessments that use a single questionnaire and then 'infer' behaviour in other areas based on the results from the single questionnaire.
LPA™ is completed online, or it may be downloaded and completed on the candidate's own computer. Feedback to the individual is given face-to-face but it can also be given telephonically. The programme provides text reports based on combinations of scores from across the different assessment instruments.
The LPA™ outcomes help candidates to understand:
How they are most likely to react in the normal range of business interactions with other executives - both collaboratively and when under stress
Whether or not their underlying personality supports their outward display of characteristics
The working culture which best supports their own unique range of abilities
The responses that others give when completing the EDA 360-degree assessment
The LPA™ outcomes help organisations to understand:
What their management culture really is by conducting hard data analysis of collective results
How to map psychometric characteristics to performance or other desired outcomes
How to utilise psychometric data in selection and succession planning
We have all been assessed at one time or another, but how useful has this assessment actually been to us?
To gain a real understanding of performance, and the differing perceptions that surround the issue, we need to have a full 360º perspective - and for this to be as unbiased and ‘pure’ as possible.
The EDA™ is a powerful research-based instrument that examines 16 competencies known to be critical to high level leadership and management effectiveness. It draws on a candidate’s self-assessment together with the observations of the candidate's present or former superiors, peers, and reports - up to 4 superiors, 6 peers and 8 reports. Most unusually for such an assessment it covers both positive and negative aspects of executive performance – this makes it a very powerful ‘EQ’ instrument in that it identifies the emotional maturity of its subjects.
The assessment incorporates the following:
Levels of Work (Stamp, Jaques, Jacobs) Stage Theory (Kegan) Ineffective Managers (Hogan, Raskin & Fazzini) Structured interviews with successful strategic leaders Experience-based anecdotal data for the development of item phrases

Since issues surrounding leadership and trust are central to successful management performance at all levels, the EDA™ has a uniquely powerful role to play at all levels of an organisation. Unusually for such an instrument, the EDA™ is also quickly and easily customisable to meet the demands of any set of competencies. Its integrated statistics make it especially powerful when testing and validating competencies.
EDA™ outcomes include: For individuals:
What people really think about their performance and overall levels of maturity (or ‘EQ’)
Whether or not they have specific ‘blind spots’, and if so what they might do about these
How successful their personal development is year on year
Whether or not they share the corporate vision
For organisations:
What’s going on in the executive body
The state of executive health, and the overall effectiveness of executive leadership
Why teams and groups may not be performing to expectation
The ‘buy-in’ to corporate vision across the organisation
How things change year on year
All feedback is given in properly constituted sessions between a trained EDAC counsellor and a candidate, in which the on-screen assessment data are interpreted.
