For an Italian multinational group, we designed and delivered within just four months a fully online potential assessment program targeting nearly 200 Middle Managers across the Americas, Europe, Africa, and Asia.
The key challenges were to:
- ensure global methodological consistency
- respect cultural and linguistic diversity
- deliver clear, actionable outputs for Line Managers
The Base 9 Approach: Tailored Design and Robust Methodology
We developed a highly customized project framework based on:
- The Group's competency model
- Existing Talent Management processes
- The need for effective HR and Manager onboarding and integration
- Cross-cultural adaptation of both content and assessment methodologies
The entire journey was designed using co-design principles, ensuring strong alignment with global HR stakeholders.
The Solution: AI-Enhanced Assessment Centers
We implemented:
- Individual and group Assessment Centers
- Realistic simulations closely reflecting real business scenarios
- Fully digital and multilingual assessment experiences
All powered by our proprietary platform AI Based Challenge©.
Artificial Intelligence was leveraged not to replace assessors, but to:
- create dynamic and realistic simulation environments
- enhance the depth and quality of behavioral observation
- surface new behaviors in AI-augmented work contexts
The entire process was designed in full compliance with GDPR and the AI Act.
