Aoba-BBT Launches Management Talent Assessment

Aoba-BBT, headquartered in Chiyoda, Tokyo, has recently unveiled its new program, the Management Talent Assessment, aimed at aiding companies in identifying and nurturing future leaders. This innovative assessment was jointly developed in collaboration with Next Education Sync (NET), led by President Tomoya Sakae.

Background of Development

In recent years, many organizations have faced common challenges in the early identification and training of the next generation of management talent. Issues such as reliance on subjective assessments by executives, the lack of clear visibility regarding the competencies required for management positions, and the difficulty in measuring the ROI of training investments have become prevalent. These concerns have heightened the demand for assessments that objectively measure and visualize skills and capabilities.

Aoba-BBT has built a strong track record in fostering executives through its online university, MBA programs, and corporate training. Combining this expertise with NET's rich experience in human resource assessment development, they have successfully created the Management Talent Assessment.

What is the Management Talent Assessment?

The Management Talent Assessment evaluates key competencies required by management professionals, including conceptual skills, human skills, and technical skills, using a set of 38 carefully selected criteria. The assessment not only aims to identify potential management candidates but also to facilitate their development. By visualizing candidates' strengths and weaknesses, this assessment supports the design of training themes, succession planning, and decisions on promotions to practical positions.

Three Key Features

1. Assessment: Leveraging a proven track record in executive training, the assessment utilizes 38 scenario-based questions to objectively measure current managerial skills.

2. Development: Unlike traditional assessments, Aoba-BBT offers learning recommendations tailored to individual weaknesses and challenges, helping candidates initiate their learning journey smoothly.

3. Support for Promotion Decisions: The assessment categorizes leadership styles required at different stages of business development into four types: business creation, growth, differentiation, and efficiency. By determining the optimal leadership type based on participants' strengths, companies can make informed decisions regarding future placements and team configurations.

The diagnostic report includes benchmarking against national averages and the performance averages of BBT graduates, providing participants with a high-resolution understanding of their standing nationwide.
