Each story is read consecutively. Before each story, the users are expected to answer the self-assessment questionnaires for specified competencies. These are explored by questions and propositions which are embedded in that story. The users are expected to rate these propositions. After each story, a final report is produced by NowToFuture application for the user to develop an awareness around the competencies in that story. The users are expected to evaluate themselves with the results and to set a change target that are important for them and to design concrete action steps before the next story. Each story has 15-day relays between themselves.
After the end of the last story, the application provides the evaluations in the beginning of the stories together with the evaluations at the end of the stories. These evaluations offer an awareness for the employees to help them build their authentic career map for their development and change.
During the recruitment phase, the criteria mostly taken are the school of graduate, academic performance, and the personality assessment inventory. However, we have all experienced that we need other competencies as well in business life.
We have also realized that our strong strengths can provide advantages but as well be can be obstacles in business life.
Different than the personality assessment inventories, first-time job applicants are asked to read stories from real business life and are expected to answer the questions in the stories from the perspective of both the employees and the managers. They will have the opportunity to realize what kind of pressure there is during critical decision moments or what type of communication issues arise with their peers or managers as they sincerely evaluate them for themselves.
Today, the most common competencies required at the beginning level of a career is self-awareness, emotional intelligence and agility. Therefore potential applicants will read stories that enable them to evaluate these competencies.
The competencies for each employee, manager and business unit change according to the strategic plans, global and local needs designed based on a company’s corporate targets. Companies need managers and leaders with competencies required to execute these strategies.
With NowToFuture, we can design stories specific to your company to build the competency map based on these required competencies in the organization.
