I am planning to run assessment centres for a Management development programme and I am looking for group and individual activities. I have a small number of activities that I have used before, but if anyone has any suggestions of something new or different I would be extremely grateful! I noticed on a previous post that someone offered the following;
I have a whole Call Centre Assessment document which includes:-
A group exercise - Isabella Monumento
Numerical & Verbal Reasoning
Individual Presentation Briefs
Feedback forms, and scoring system.

Is this still available as I would be really grateful for any help offered or ideas from any other members.
Many Thanks

Assessment or development?
Simon
I’m a little unclear from your post whether you are intending to run an assessment centre or a development centre. Whilst they share some common features, they are at heart very different animals.
Either way, it would be useful to know a little more about the people and the objectives. It is tempting to be seduced by new and exciting activities, but I would urge caution. The drivers must always be the business benefits, the learner requirements and, often, the limitations (time, budget, trainer skills). The choice – or better still the design – of activities should derive from these considerations.
That said, having a few extra tools in your tool box is no bad thing. Nor a bit of well considered experimentation.

Have a mooch through the Free Resources tabs – fellow trainers have been adding their examples and tools there for all to use. You might find the exercises you mentioned .
Hope it goes well,
