We reviewed the existing competency framework, post which, it was fine-tuned for the subsequent assessment process. We also identified other ‘High potential’ characteristics, apart from the standard set of competencies that was required.
- In the ‘profiling phase’, both online and face-to-face assessments using competency-specific customized tools were administered.
