  Applying a UX Methodology to the Assessment Experience

  Digitization is affecting user expectation both narrowly and broadly.  Creating a scalable, valid and multi-method digital assessment experience for emerging leaders presents both challenges and opportunities for the entire assessment approach.  In a recent project IBM applied design thinking and ongoing sponsor user feedback to evolve a richly engaging digital approach to identifying, developing and selecting emerging first line leaders.  Out of that iterative design process evolved a self-paced offering that delivers a highly interactive end-to-end assessment and development experience for the user, pipeline and selection insight for the business, and a corps of global debrief coaches to support. 

  This user-centric platform is already delivering high levels of satisfaction as measured by net promotor scores [NPS] of 54.  Better still, offering a digital assessment has reduced costs by 800 percent over the traditional assessment center approach, which makes it highly cost-efficient to deliver at scale.Additional advantages have been gained by allowing those with an interest in a leadership role to directly enroll in the program and self-nominate.   This has the potential to enrich our pipeline of candidates, support bias mitigation at the very start of the pipe and enhance our efforts to further our culture of inclusion.

  Program Description:

  In today’s complex and rapidly changing environment, it is necessary to collaborate with others and work across departments, geographies and teams to get things done; oftentimes without the formal authority or title to do so. Influencing is a key skill required to operate under these conditions. In this Influencing for Results workshop we will focus on what it takes to influence other people to create win/win outcomes through partnering and planning.

  If we want to manage up, persuade a key stakeholder, or influence a decision for an internal consulting project, then we must be able to understand what influencing is and how to do it effectively. Influencing at its core is about moving people from resistance, to compliance, and ultimately when done well, to commitment; meaning they are all in with their heads, hands and hearts. Most people believe that individuals are born with a natural charisma and the ability to persuade others; however being able to influence others is a set of skills and attitudes that anyone can develop.

  The ideal approach is one of creating a shared vision and then motivating others to achieve it while creating win/win outcomes. It takes pushing through our comfort zone and planning so we do more than offer advice or take control and truly understand what it takes to get a successful outcome.

  Key Takeaways

  In this workshop participants will learn:

  *  What Influence is and why it’s so important in today’s business environment;

  *  The difference between persuasion and influence and how both are necessary and important;

  *  How individuals can enhance their own leadership presence to strengthen their ability to influence;

  *  The six components of credibility and how to manage and increase credibility for effectiveness;

  *  A framework and 5-step model for holding influencing conversations that result in win/win outcomes

  *  Tools and tips including an influence planner and strategies for overcoming resistance
