Assessment and development
.............................................................................................................................

PMMS is a market leader in the provision of assessment products and services, with a wide range of clients across various business sectors. Only through assessment of a person’s capability will they be able to develop.

We offer many competency assessment products for use within an Assessment Centre or Development Centre to provide a baseline of current capability in the target population. PMMS can offer clients the use of its standard range of technical competencies or can generate company-specific competency frameworks that reflect the business needs of that client within its industry sector.

Our competency assessment services include:
        • Assessment of individuals against nine procurement technical            competencies
        • Assessment of individuals against a range of leadership and behavioural            competencies
        • Benchmarking performance with over 6,000 procurement professionals            from a range of business sectors
        • Utilising a range of different assessment tools

PMMS can provide these competency assessment services as part of a wider recruitment campaign or to dovetail with a client’s development or transformation project.

We use various proven techniques to assess competency, such as:
        • Sourcing knowledge questionnaire and negotiation profile
        • Semi structured procurement technical interview
        • Negotiation simulation
        • Behavioural assessment product
        • Group exercise
        • Presentation exercise

PMMS matches the assessed capability to the future requirements of the business and delivers a skills gap assessment. This individual analysis is used to generate a customised learning and development footprint, which represents the full range of development interventions required to deliver optimum performance. The subsequent development programme provides a focus that is bespoke to each staff member’s development rather than a generic approach.
