Readiness assessment

See what someone can do before signing them off

Assess the conversation, system actions and decisions together. Use a shared scorecard to make readiness decisions more consistent, with human review where judgement or risk requires it.

What changed

When this becomes a priority

  • Knowledge tests miss execution gaps

    Someone can recall a rule but miss a critical step while speaking to a customer. Assess the applied task as well as the underlying knowledge.

  • Human assessments can use different standards

    Different assessors can emphasise different behaviours. Define shared criteria and calibrate examples of acceptable performance before assessing a cohort.

  • Leaders need evidence beyond a completed exercise

    Review why a learner passed, which errors remain and when escalation is appropriate. Keep the evidence tied to the responsibilities the person will take on.

The scenario
