Why Leadership Assessments Matter

  • 01
    Executive Evaluation and Talent Placement

    Studies suggest that nearly half of hiring decisions miss the mark — selecting the right individual for a critical role can often feel like chance. The consequences of a misstep are significant, leading to financial loss, wasted time, leadership disruption, and missed strategic opportunities — particularly at the top of the organizational hierarchy.

    Our analytics-based, rigorously tested approach consistently results in over 90% success in placing senior leaders correctly the first time — aligning talent with strategic needs from the outset.

    Our Approach to Collaboration

    We begin by converting your organizational priorities into a role-specific success profile. This includes both the measurable business objectives and the behavioral and leadership capabilities needed to achieve them. This success profile becomes a shared, objective benchmark for candidate evaluation — creating alignment across stakeholders around what success actually looks like.

    Next, we carry out deep-dive assessments that surface behavioral patterns, key strengths, and potential derailers — benchmarking each candidate against your defined profile. The result: highly reliable predictions of future on-the-job performance.

    What You Gain

    Beyond making clear, evidence-led recommendations about who to hire, we equip you with actionable insights that go well beyond a single decision.

    We help you anticipate where a candidate is likely to excel and where challenges may arise. We also outline steps to support a successful transition, reduce onboarding risk, shape a high-performing team dynamic, and foster strong working relationships.

    Organizations We Support

    We work with a broad spectrum of clients — from mid-sized firms to Fortune 100 and 500 companies, private equity sponsors, investment firms, and both public and mission-driven enterprises.

Many companies mishandle high-potential development by starting late, relying on generic programs, and reinforcing old habits. ADOM’s nextGEN offers a tailored, research-backed, data-driven approach that aligns with your strategy, identifies key investment areas, and builds leadership capacity for future success.

How we partner with you

Unlike most leadership development programs that start with an off-the-shelf curriculum, we start with strategy. Leadership development isn’t exclusively about accelerating individuals—it’s about creating a system that can drive future business success. This process must be rooted in the company’s goals.

Our two-step approach identifies:

  • The Right What: Identifying the leadership capabilities needed for future business success. We begin by aligning leadership development with business strategy to define the essential skills, mindsets, and behaviors future leaders will need. Rather than relying on generic leadership models, we take a company-specific approach.
  • The Right Who: Systematically assessing and surfacing high-potential leaders with rigor and analytics. The process begins with a broad pool of leaders under consideration and concludes with a short list of leaders best suited for targeted development plans designed to accelerate their growth and readiness for future leadership roles.
