Levelling Up
Describes how we develop ourselves and others, and the styles, strategies and methods we use as we go
The Levelling Up assessment provides insights into people's learning and knowledge sharing preferences and behaviours, and can help identify areas for growth and development.
With a focus on strategy, method, and style, the Levelling Up assessment can provide valuable insights into an individual's strengths and weaknesses when it comes to learning, teaching, and supporting others.
Whether you're looking to improve your own skills and knowledge or to identify the right individuals for certain roles within your organisation, the Levelling Up assessment is an essential tool for success.
The Levelling Up assessment explores the way people pass knowledge and skills bwtween each other. It focuses on three arenas of knowledge sharing: strategy, method, and style.
In the first arena, we evaluate the balance of strategies we use, such as understanding, applying, exploring, and observing, in order to develop ourselves or others.
The second arena deals with the methods we use to demonstrate, explain, practice, or refine skills in order to help others develop.
And the third arena covers the role of advisor, tutor, coach, or mentor in supporting ongoing development.
Any or all of our other Promana assessments can be used in conjunction with the Levelling Up assessment for a more detailed and comprehensive understanding of how people share, transfer and absorb knowledge an skills.
