Assessment Methods Employed to Ascertain Different Categories of Skill

In the last post, we discussed a hierarchy of skills. Our current post deals with how the skills are assessed for each level in the hierarchy.

At the top levels it is not enough to just assess whether the skill is available in the candidate. It is necessary to verify the track record through a "due diligence" process where claims are verified.

At the highest level, it is not enough to ascertain if the skill is available. Results depend on context &  culture - in other words, it is necessary to ascertain whether the attitudes of the candidate complement the culture of the organization an provide the synergy for superior results or whether there is dissonance.
