Overview
Our Leadership Maturity Assessment goes beyond traditional testing. By applying an investigative lens, we evaluate leaders in the context of their business, culture, and function - because leadership maturity cannot be measured in isolation.
We extend this approach to functional leaders (CFOs, CTOs, and others), benchmarking them against global peer sets to reveal how effectively they lead their functions. Backed by proximity to a broad global talent pool, our models generate high-quality data that makes leadership insights predictive, practical, and actionable.

Assessment products work in a black box. Feed in requirements and out comes fitment report on fancy charts and figures. Reports that read right but have no concrete learnings.
With our assessment products, we intend to simplify and contextualize leadership assessment. We don’t think leadership is truly fungible. Our laser focus is on building a product that works for your unique environment.
Our Philosophy
Start with the context, always
When leaders get up in the morning, they are not thinking about displaying “managerial courage” or showcasing “global perspective”. They are thinking of influencing a customer to buy their product or responding to investor queries or addressing a townhall. The context is therefore a set of activities that matter in the role.
Link context to competencies
For too long, leadership assessment has been based on competencies alone, devoid of their practical applications. When the context is well defined in terms of activities that a leader is supposed to perform, a prioritized, logical list of competencies can be derived.
Assess for maturity not familiarity
Humans get good at activities when they spend time on it – learning, practicing and finetuning their craft. Their competencies mature when they have persevered in the face of challenges and failures. The leader therefore must be assessed for maturity of thought, than merely the presence of knowledge.
