2. Business thinking
  • Business awareness
  • Problem-solving
  • Decision making

Give us the e-mail address of the managers you want to nominate as candidates for this assessment, plus e-mail addresses of people you nominate as observers. Each candidate will need 1 boss, at least 2 peer group members, and at least 3 direct reports as observers. MDS will then do the rest. The Online assessment is automatic and confidential. It is serviced by an independent server monitored by an MDS administrator. Observers can therefore be assured of anonymity. The scores from peer group observers are averaged out – likewise the scores from direct reports.
