A development centre is often nothing more than an assessment centre with a much stronger focus on the development potential and the development activities rather than the mere assessing of strengths and weaknesses. A development centre aims at measuring actual competencies with a view to further development and always contains a lot of interaction with the participant. 

A development centre is not a one-day activity but a process in which each participant has the opportunity to show the acquired competencies. Participants always receive extensive feedback and are encouraged to think about their own further development.
A helping hand with the further development of competencies (e.g. using the HR tool Evolutips®) is part of the development process.

Because competency assessment and competency development go hand in hand, an efficient development process starts with a clear measurement of the present competencies.

Quintessence’s development centres can be established in-company with assessors from the company.
Alternatively the development centre can be organised by us, in which case professional consultants function as discussion partners and assessors. We love to bring out the best in your people!

If you would like to know more about the possibilities to set up and organise your development centres with us, please don’t hesitate to call + 32 (0) 3 281 44 88 or e-mail! We love to share our experiences in many different organisations and with all kind of function levels.
