My simulations have been used on assessment/development centres since the 1970's and where applicable I have special versions of the simulation that produces special reports to support the assessors.

The three competency models presented here represent how different organisations saw their needs and how simulation can be used to assess these. They are provided to stimulate discussion about your own organisation's competency model.
