MetLife, Inc. and BTS, a world leading strategy implementation firm, won a coveted Brandon Hall Group Silver award in the Best Advance in Assessment Utilization to Guide Talent Decisions category. This win was announced on September 7, 2016, and is listed here. MetLife and BTS were honored to be the sole recipient of an award in this category.
The award-winning program was the Business Acceleration Lab, a custom, industry-specific, technology-driven business simulation used for capability assessment and leadership development. The highly realistic simulation, modeled after MetLife’s business and commercial dynamics, was designed to elicit observable and measurable behaviors that would then be systematically evaluated against the organization’s GM Success Profile. Participants worked through the lab in teams and individually, demonstrating their leadership skills, organizational savvy and business acumen while running their company in a competitive marketplace. The objectives of the program were to assess participants’ readiness for the role, provide data for individual and cohort-based development planning, encourage a culture of ownership around development, and equip leaders with a robust learning experience that would increase their strategic and business acumen.
“We are delighted to receive the Brandon Hall Silver award, as it speaks to the power of this innovative approach to capability assessment and leadership development,” said Howard Epstein, Head of Development Solutions at BTS. “The depth of the data gathered and the robust nature of the learning experience made this a truly impactful and unique solution, and we are honored for that to have been recognized.”
“Winning a Brandon Hall Group Excellence Award means an organization is an elite innovator within Human Capital Management. The award signifies that the organization’s work represents a leading practice in that HCM function,” said Rachel Cooke, COO of Brandon Hall Group and head of the awards program. “Their achievement is also notable because of the positive impact their work in HCM has on business results. All award winners have to demonstrate a measurable benefit to the business, not just the HCM operation. That’s an important distinction. Our HCM award winners are helping to transform the business.”
The award entries were evaluated by a panel of veteran, independent industry experts, Brandon Hall Group analysts and executives based upon the following criteria: fit the need, design of program, functionality, innovation, and overall measureable benefits.
