  1. Simulations for Assessment Warren Bobrow, Ph.D. All About Performance warren@allaboutperformance.biz

  2. Drivers of Innovation • Cost • “Contextual,” if not content related validity • Job Analysis • Client image

  3. Assessment Centers • Cost is perhaps the biggest driver here • Use digital recordings of role-plays • Assessors don’t have to be at the AC • Upload, instead of ship • Skype for role-plays • Participants don’t have to be at the AC • Role players don’t have to be at the AC • rec_j23rothr_07_Dec_2011_07_03_24.wmv

  4. Assessment Centers • In-baskets that mirror e-mail • No longer have to read bad handwriting!

  5. Not So Fast—Other Considerations • You no longer control the quality of the technology • Bandwidth • Skill • Particularly for people my age and older

  6. Not So Fast—Other Considerations • Keeping up with technology is expensive • Changes in hardware • Everything is moving from PC/Laptop to handhelds/tablets • Data integrity and security • Changes in work • We moved from paper to phone to e-mail for in-baskets, now we need to account for texting and other forms of messaging

  7. Assessment Centers • Feedback • Use of databases to • Ensure the same participant behavior receives the same feedback • Assessors don’t have to be creative in each statement • Language/recommendations fit client competency/training models

  8. Research Opportunities • Does all of this really lead to more accurate predictions? • Does it matter? • Are there groups that are being left out? • Or is this approach more inclusive?
