What does a MAP Assessment programme involve?

Day 1

One of the great benefits of MAP Assessment is that it only takes one day to administer. The assessment involves watching a series of 10 DVD scenarios that cover a week in the life of a manager and his team and then answering a series of questions that relate to each episode.

The scenarios include:

• Team meetings
• Time management
• Decision making
• Delegating
• Discipline and empathy
• Appraising staff
• Performance management
• Problem solving
• Listening

After each short episode, participants are required to answer a series of multiple-choice questions about what they have seen and if, in their opinion, what they have seen is good or bad management practice.

In addition to these scenarios, there are also two paper-based questoinnaires that report preferred both communication and management styles.

Day 2

The second day of the MAP Assessment process is spent understanding and interpreting your individual report and in producing an individual development plan that details your development needs and commitment to action.  If taken as a management team, a team report is also produced that highlights team norms and areas to consider for the team's development.

How you plan the development and improvement in your competence as a manager is completely up to you.  We are, however, able to support your development with Managing to Excel; a modular program of 12 self-direct learning modules, complete with on the job exercises designed to develop reflection and understanding in the 12 core competencies assessed by MAP.
