Will your leadership grow to meet future needs? Do you know who should, and who should not be promoted? Can you tell who would be performing better in a different role?
Companies today are constantly grappling with change, whether growing or merging or expanding to new regions. Knowing an individual’s potential is key to managing the risk of putting someone in a new, more important role. Potential includes current readiness for promotion or succession, but also the characteristics that make someone better at developing potential in a new role.
Determining current and future potential
Egon Zehnder International’s unique potential assessment model integrates three highly valid and well researched components, each of which has clear and measurable elements (including a critical group of
scaled competencies) that can feed directly into
development planning and feedback. We always look at current potential relative to the role, to avoid promoting people before their time, but we also know who is likely to develop the fastest.
Predicting future achievement
Egon Zehnder International can predict executive promotability over a five-year span with 85 percent accuracy – a level that no one else can claim.

- A rigorous appraisal of potential relative to current role status and performance
