Strong decisions are built on a clear understanding of the situation.
Intuition alone is not enough. Using proven analytical approaches, we bring to light the factors that often remain unseen – whether at the level of an individual, a team, a function, or the organization as a whole. This gives you a solid foundation for meaningful development and lasting change.
We help you answer questions such as:
- Where am I today, what motivates me, and how can I channel my potential most effectively?
- Who truly has the capabilities to excel in a pivotal role?
- What does it take to transform a group into a high-performing team?
- Where does our organization stand – culturally, strategically, and in terms of talent – and what’s needed to take the next step?
With Assess, we deliver tried-and-tested PAWLIK solutions and incisive analysis – end-to-end and focused on what matters most. Depending on your objectives and context, we draw on three integrated profiling services: self-assessment, behavioral assessment, and organizational assessment.
Self-Assessment
Our evidence-based self-assessments provide a clear snapshot of where you stand – serving as a solid foundation for personal growth, tailored career paths or better hiring outcomes.
We highlight role-specific competencies in fields like leadership and sales, supported by a versatile generalist profile applicable across functions.
Depending on your objectives and available time, formats range from brief online assessments (from just 5 minutes) to in-depth personality diagnostics (90–120 minutes). Results can be delivered in the format that best suits your needs – whether as a concise report, a reflective debrief with one of our assessment specialists, or a detailed written evaluation, each customized to your specific requirements.
Our methods draw on proven frameworks such as Prof. Dr. Julius Kuhl’s Action Control Theory and David McClelland’s foundational motivation theory. We continuously refine these approaches in close collaboration with both research and industry practice.
Self-Assessment is also a core element of our Loop approach:
scan.up
Our Scan.up process delivers an evidence-based analysis of personality, motivation, and potential – highlighting individual strengths as well as areas for development. Learn more here
Screenfact
A fast, visual entry point into personality diagnostics that delivers immediate, actionable insights and sparks meaningful self-reflection. Learn more here
Additional Analyses
We also offer complementary assessments, including heart rate variability (for energy management), cognitive performance, and the intrinsic motivators that drive behavior.
Behavioral Assessment
In selection, development, or succession planning, decisions about people are among the most consequential an organization can make. When the stakes are high, precision and methodological rigor are essential. Our behavioral assessments deliver both – grounded in valid behavioral observations within realistic settings such as assessment centers or 360-degree feedback processes.
We combine business-relevant simulations with robust observation criteria and advanced digital tools to sharpen the view on core competencies and development opportunities. Each assessment is tailored in scope and intensity to your context – whether evaluating an operational team lead or a strategic senior executive.
The result: nuanced insights that provide a solid foundation for confident decision-making.
Behavioral assessment is also a core element of our Loop approach:
Assessment / Development Center
We rely on structured, real-world evaluation formats for individuals or groups that are built around clearly defined competency frameworks for both selection and development. These are often integrated into our scan.up process and supported by end-to-end services from design and consultation to observer training.
360-Degree Analysis
A digital feedback process that captures perspectives from an individual’s immediate professional environment and aligns them to organizational or role-specific competencies. It is often complemented by our scan.up diagnostics, creating a strong foundation for targeted development.
Team Analysis
A shared diagnostic for teams, focused on collaboration, role clarity, and development potential. Built on our scan.up and Screenfact tools, our team analyses are enriched by concepts such as psychological safety and the five dimensions of high-performing teams.
Organizational Assessment
From team diagnostics and functional audits to organization-wide surveys, our assessments deliver clear, data-driven insights into culture, leadership, and engagement that are anonymous, structured, and grounded in real-world contexts.
We examine strengths, tensions, and untapped potential in light of your strategic objectives, translating findings into concrete recommendations for change and growth.
Our approach goes beyond the numbers – considering your current position, your ambitions, and the path to achieving them.
Organizational assessment is also a core element of our Loop approach:
Thematic Audits
Whether the focus is culture, leadership, learning, agility, or DE&I, our thematic audits make the critical development areas in your organization visible. We use a holistic, data-driven approach and the right mix of methods to deliver actionable insights in the relevant strategic context.
Functional Audits
How well are critical functions such as HR or sales performing? Our functional audits deliver clear, evidence-based insights – pinpointing process efficiency, collaboration effectiveness, and opportunities for capability building.
Process Mining
Using advanced process-mining tools from our long-standing partner, Process Science, we provide in-depth, data-based analysis of business processes, helping you identify inefficiencies, uncover root causes, and map opportunities for optimization.
Surveys
Surveys have the greatest impact when they are aligned to strategic development goals. We design employee and customer surveys that surface the most relevant issues and translate them into clear, actionable steps.
