Psychometric Skills Assessment and Team Development Program

Organization Background:

iDE is a global team of more than 1,000 changemakers coming from diverse backgrounds within international development and the private sector. What we all have in common is the belief that one entrepreneur can change their community, and millions can change the world. When Paul Polak founded International Development Enterprises (iDE) in 1982, his idea that business was the solution to poverty was new and untested. Over forty years later, Paul’s concept has been proven not only by iDE but also by the increasing number of established and new organizations that have embraced this approach.

Our work stands out in the international development arena. We are driven to end poverty but we do not do simple handouts of supplies or cash. Instead, we believe that everyone has the ability to increase their livelihoods and build long-term resilience by their own accord. They may just need training or connections to suppliers and customers. That’s where we come in and what we mean when we say we are “powering entrepreneurs to end poverty”.

Scope of Work:

Organizations today require a clear understanding of their teams’ capabilities, behavioral tendencies, and areas for development to optimize performance and collaboration. Psychometric assessments offer valuable insights into core competencies, emotional intelligence, and working styles, enabling organizations to align individual strengths with team goals and overall strategic objectives.

This program aims to assess and enhance the behavioral and interpersonal capabilities of team members, promoting personal growth, improved collaboration, and effective leadership across all levels.

1. Preparation and Planning:

• Conduct initial consultations to understand the organization’s needs and objectives.
• Develop a customized psychometric assessment framework.

2. Assessment Implementation:

• Administer assessments (online or in-person) to the designated employees.
• Analyze assessment results to identify individual and team strengths, challenges, and trends.

3. Reporting and Recommendations:

• Offer recommendations for individual and team improvement.

4. Capacity Building:

• Conduct workshops or feedback sessions to explain summary of findings and propose strategies for improvement.

1. A tailored assessment framework and plan.
2. Psychometric assessment reports for individuals and teams.
3. A summary report with insights and actionable recommendations.
4. Post-assessment workshops or feedback sessions for team leaders and staff.
