\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The challenge<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Co-operative\u2019s previous Assessment Centre exercises had reached the end of their shelf life and as a result of being used consistently for three years running, it was becoming clear that some of the content was in discussion in student networks via networking forums.&nbsp; They needed fresh exercises to enable the identification of graduates achieving the benchmarks against their leadership framework.&nbsp; The key challenge was to ensure that these exercises adequately reflected the culture and business of The Co-operative as an ethical, yet commercial organisation to give graduates a realistic job preview.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Following a graduate process performance review undertaken by&nbsp;us, The Co-operative reviewed our suggestions and particularly liked our approach to job analysis, which supported inclusion of competencies and exercise tasks.&nbsp;This thorough analysis provided an evidence base for the exercise design and inclusion of relevant leadership behaviours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The solution<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To fully understand the culture of the graduate roles within The Co-operative, and to gather evidence to support the development of additional indicators of each of these behaviours, our&nbsp;project team researched the roles thoroughly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In order to offer a cost-effective approach and to gather rich data, this information gathering took different forms, prior to analysis. &nbsp;Our&nbsp;online job analysis questionnaire allowed data to be gathered from a large number of existing graduates on the programme to understand the types of tasks and activities they engage in.&nbsp; This was distributed to graduates at different stages of the two-year programme to ensure a thorough coverage of tasks throughout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, a focus group was carried out with a selection of The Co-operative managers who line-manage previous and current graduates, during which the tasks and effective\/ineffective behaviours of graduates were explored.&nbsp;Alongside analysis of existing documentation and the leadership behaviour framework, this information allowed the identification of key behaviours, of what success \u2018looked like\u2019 and idea generation for the bespoke Assessment Centre exercises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Co-operative were keen to create two new exercises to replace their existing Group Debate and Case Study that were designed to give candidates an interesting, yet business relevant experience during the Assessment Centre.&nbsp; For this reason, a set of two \u2018day in the life\u2019 exercises was designed, set in a parallel industry to The Co-operative.&nbsp; This allowed both exercises to contain the same branding and similarities in background to truly reflect a \u2018day in the life\u2019 approach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was also important to create a user friendly Assessor Guide that allowed assessors to quickly and appropriately, yet fairly and consistently, identify the effective and ineffective behaviours demonstrated by candidates.&nbsp;After design, the exercises were fully reviewed by The Co-operative so that they could provide feedback and any additional changes to content, timings, level and relevance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The results<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Co-operative\u2019s new exercises were fully tailored to ensure the measurement of leadership behaviours, relevance to the role and the business, and to enable candidates the opportunity to demonstrate the required behaviours.&nbsp; By increasing the number of specific behaviours to be measured for each of the leadership behaviours, the exercises now offer greater consistency between assessor ratings, therefore yielding valid results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the key requirements set out during the scoping phase was to adequately reflect the culture of The Co-operative and to demonstrate that, while being an ethical business, they remain a commercial organisation.&nbsp; This objective has been achieved and the project was completed to fit in with The Co-operative\u2019s timescales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns alignwide are-vertically-aligned-center has-border-color

leaders, it is vital that our assessment exercises effectively assess candidates to ensure they are of the highest calibre. What made The Co-operative select Talogy as the exercise provider was really their approach to the information gathering stage of the design process. They did thorough research both with our current graduates as well as line managers from across the Group and they ensured they had a really good understanding of the programme which is really important to us.&nbsp; Since initiating the design of the exercises Talogy have been great to work with. Tracy has kept in regular contact and responded quickly to all design amends; the quality of the exercises is excellent and really reflects our organisation\u2019s values \u2013 and all this was delivered well ahead of schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"talogy-quote_author has-white-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-005f7ad98797df4ad375374f0b06ac9e\" style=\"font-style:normal;font-weight:400\">Rachel Rotherham<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"talogy-quote_author-title has-secondary-500-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-911d142ef269325e5d6fded588e274f8\" style=\"font-style:normal;font-weight:400\">Graduate Program Manager, The Co-operative Group<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignwide has-black-background-color has-background has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40);margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40);padding-top:0;padding-bottom:0\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns alignwide is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-85518bf0 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\" style=\"margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--60);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--60)\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-primary-500-color has-text-color has-link-color has-xxl-font-size wp-elements-3c428ba165352dd981c3a0ddcd49c1f7\" id=\"form\">Do you have a similar challenge?
