Managerial Assessment of Proficiency (MAP)

The Managerial Assessment of Proficiency (MAP) is a video-based assessment that objectively measures an individual's competency in 12 key managerial areas. MAP also assesses how the person’s style and workplace values influence his or her effectiveness in using the 12 competencies.

Following scoring of the assessment, participants receive feedback from a trained facilitator who guides the Individual Development Planning (IDP) process. The IDP is designed both for personal growth and increased organizational effectiveness.

Competencies Assessed in MAP

Landmark studies by a number of major U.S. corporations (IBM, Exxon, Ford, Kodak, Martin Marietta) have shown that the twelve competencies that form the basis for the Managerial Assessment of Proficiency are consistently possessed by highly effective managers and supervisors to a greater degree than by average performers. These competencies are:

Administrative           Managing Your Job	Time Management and Prioritizing Setting Goals and Standards Planning and Scheduling Work

Supervisory           Building A Team	Training, Coaching and Delegating Appraising People and Performance Disciplining and Counseling
