Implementable strategies for a competitive, fast-changing world

In a world that is faster moving than ever, the ideal employee is somebody that has not only the expected technical skills but also vital personal attributes that align with the culture of the new environment; he or she must be able to become immersed in their roles, absorbing the detail while maintaining sight of the greater whole; being fully prepared to engage but still be equipped to act independently; interacting with consideration but able to push for results; capable of creating a vision and direction whilst developing others to reach their full potential. The list is endless…

To accurately measure ability and suitability for a position one must therefore assess not only the inherent natural qualities or potential for these attributes but also be able to predict the likely performance that one would expect when placing the candidate in the role.
