The permanent goal to increase individual and organizational performance determines the need for using objective assessment and development tools
There are lots of tools – HOW do we choose them?
By identifying the factors which influence performance
By objectively measuring those factors
In order to successfully assess and develop our abilities we have to act directly on the factors that determine our behaviours
Limits of traditional assessment toolsLimits of traditional assessment tools
They have low prediction – e.g. correlation coefficient between personality
tests and future performance is 0,38 (n.b. acceptable level is 0,7)
They have various errors (projection bias, cross-cultural bias, desirability
effect)
They don’t succeed in identifying CAUSES for a certain level of
performance; for this reason, we don’t know the real LEVERS required for
improving individual performance.
There is a solution: There is a solution:
New trends in Behavioral Neurosciences are to design assessment tools able to identify CAUSES for a certain level of performance.
HOW?HOW?
By evaluating the brain’s networks – these networks are the main factor influencing our individual performance.
The functioning of neural networks determines our ability to successfully handle various tasks in social and work environment.
Arguments forArguments for NeurosciencesNeurosciences
The “Human Brain Mapping” project – launched by US Administration in the ’90s focused on understanding the functionality of various neural networks.
Multiple brain areas were mapped through scanning and recording brain’s activity (RMN) while people executed specific mental tasks.
Arguments forArguments for NeurosciencesNeurosciences
Through extensive experimental research, there has been proved a direct link between various brain networks and specific behaviors.

Neurosciences Neurosciences -- BrainPerformBrainPerform
These international efforts are intended to promote assessment tools which can significantly increase the objectivity of prediction of future individual performance, making more efficient management decisions.
BrainPerformBrainPerform is among the first assessment tools to measure the functionality of neural networks as a way to develop personal and managerial skills.
The instrument has been designed by BrainPerform BrainPerform consultants, who have internationally recognised expertise in neurosciences.
What brings new BrainPerformBrainPerform?
It links the functionality of neural networks with specific behaviours/skills, which are relevant for a high performance.
HOW?
It “translates” functionality patterns of neural networks into behaviors & skills and indicates the degree of development of those skills.
The behaviors which are specific for various personal and managerial skills have been identified following the analysis of competencies’ models from Fortune 500 companies.
What brings new BrainPerformBrainPerform?
The assessment tool consists of 7 scientifically designed exercises, each of them measuring the functionality of specific neural networks.
The exercises have been designed following extensive researchprojects in collaboration with:
o Sackler Institute for Neurobiology
o Cornell University
o Slovak Institute of Experimental Psychology
o Slovak Academy of Science
The exercises are designed as “games” (they do not contain verbal items), thus eliminating traditional errors.
What brings new BrainPerformBrainPerform?
The exercises are integrated into a software application, using secured technologies
The data resulted from the exercises are analysed and correlated with demographics and functional statistics emerged from extensive research
The results are structured in Individual Assessment Reports, which also contain areas of personal development
On-line assessment on dedicated website with friendly interface (username and password access)
Short assessment interval – approx. 45 min
Simple logistics – connection to Internet

BrainPerform BrainPerform –– used forused for AssessmentAssessment
The exercises from BrainPerformBrainPerform collect data regarding the functionality of neural networks such as:
Reaction timeNumber of errorsNumber of trials
These data are analysed and compared with performance norms corresponding to relevant population.
The results are integrated in individual reports, linking the functionality of neural networks with the degree of skills’ development.
Through assessment of neural networks functionality, BrainPerform provides results about the following competencies, structured in 8 clusters:
Cluster: Leadershipo Delegationo Self-confidenceo Feedback
Cluster: Decision Makingo Impulse controlo Management of uncertainty
Cluster: Problem Solvingo Problem solving
Cluster: Results Orientationo Task persistenceo Inner Drive
Cluster: Communication/Personal Relationships
o Listening to otherso Social sensitivityo Assertivity
Cluster: Change Management o Innovation o Adaptability
Cluster: Planning & Organizing o Planning & Organizing
Cluster: Emotions Managemento Resilienceo Emotional control
Example:
Imagistic studies (using fMRI) have identified the brain regions involved in perception of unfamiliar people and behaviors triggered by these situations (with red & orange in the picture)
The way we perceive unfamiliar people influence our behavior and determines the efficiency of Managing Interpersonal Relationships competency

BrainPerform BrainPerform –– used forused for AssessmentAssessment
The individual assessment reports allow a matching between Job Profile requirements and skills development
These percentage match helps making objective HR management decisions:
choose the best candidates in selection process
distinguish best performers for promotion
identify key people for succession planning
BrainPerform BrainPerform –– used forused for DevelopmentDevelopment
BrainPerformBrainPerform provides a diagnosis of neural networks functionality, pointing for the levers of development
Skills/competencies are better developed if we know the right brain triggers:
the knowledge about what to do in that situation
the functioning level of the neuronal network responsible for handling that situation
BrainPerform BrainPerform –– used forused for DevelopmentDevelopment
By using Neuronal techniquesNeuronal techniques we can consolidate and/or activate neural networks responsible for specific behaviors/competencies
For example, network 1(shown in the picture) is known to control our decision making behavior
By stimulating that network, we will consolidate this behaviour, and implicitly will develop our ability to make decisionsNewly developed behaviors are re-enforced through behavioural behavioural techniquestechniques (business simulations reflecting real organizational context)
BrainPerform BrainPerform –– used forused for DevelopmentDevelopment
These types of interventions are used for the management development program, which is structured as follows:
5 sessions across 2 months
Mix of group exercises and one-to-one interactions with the facilitator
Individual practice and re-enforcement on CD-stored exercises
Integration of techniques for neural stimulation with behavioraltechniques (business simulations)
Identifying individual learning style and adapting it to various contexts
Continuous monitoring of individual progress and feedback
Integrating individual development techniques in daily practices
BrainPerform BrainPerform –– used forused for DevelopmentDevelopment
The individual assessment reports identify areas of future skills development
Knowing exactly the development needs better supports HR processes:
o Customising management development programs
o Identifying High Potentials for talent management programs
o Designing the right career paths based on development potential
BrainPerform supports your management decisions in a variety of HR processes and provides high returns for your HR investments!
