Assessments have always played a crucial role in how we identify potential, develop talent, and shape future leaders. But with the rapid rise of AI and digital tools, we’re facing both incredible opportunities and real risks. In this episode we’re diving into a subject that sits right at the intersection of innovation and humanity and asking, how do we harness the power of technology - particularly AI - to build fairer, more human-centered approaches to leadership assessment and development?

Joining Lucy to discuss this is a real expert in the field of leadership assessment - Tom Verboven from The Talent Enterprise which is part of the Mercer group. Lucy and Tom discuss some of the big questions around assessment and technology, including: 

  • Where do we currently stand in the adoption and effectiveness of AI and technology in assessments? 
  • How can we effectively eliminate bias and noise in assessments, whether human or AI-driven?
  • What is the candidate or participant experience like when interacting with AI and technological assessments?
  • What are the implications of passively collecting data to generate insights on strengths, areas for development?
