Leadership Diagnostics Architecture for a Global FMCG Group
International food & agriculture conglomerate — 20,000+ employees.
The client had a complex, multi-layered leadership framework with behavioural competencies, functional skills, leadership principles, and company values – 33 criteria in total. The question: which online assessment tools actually measure what had been defined as leadership, and which are worth combining?

Subscale Mappings
- 10 tools from 7 vendors evaluated at subscale level against 33 leadership competencies – all tools achieved near-complete binary coverage, yet the mapping revealed a structural problem: the same competency label was interpreted as a personality trait by one tool, a value by another, and a behaviour by a third. Everything fit a little, nothing fit precisely.
- The analysis showed: the problem was not the tools, but the competency model itself – definitions broad enough to absorb any instrument are too vague for meaningful tool selection. The coverage data became a reverse-engineering tool: the basis for sharpening each competency with behavioural anchors.
- A prioritised shortlist across five strategic options was delivered – differentiated by tool type, feedback quality, cost-per-candidate for 300 participants and configurability – with a clear decision rule: maximum control over competency weighting vs. highest scientific coverage vs. cognitive integration.
Tool Coverage Analysis for a European Entertainment Group
Events industry — assessment for the senior management pipeline
The client was reviewing their assessment setup ahead of a leadership development initiative. With 12 core competencies and tools already in use, they wanted to objectively understand: is the current tool set really the right one – or do alternatives offer better coverage?

Rating Levels
- Ten out of eleven tools claimed full coverage of the leadership competencies – the weighted analysis returned coverage scores from 17 to 161 points, showing that “full coverage” is a meaningless claim without subscale analysis.
- The actual decision came down to four factors that coverage scores don’t capture: Who interprets the results and how consistently? Does the tool use norms or client-defined criteria? How precisely does it fit specific target roles? What is the candidate experience at scale?
- The client received a prioritised shortlist, a clear rationale for the decision, and the evidence to exit an existing vendor contract – without internal bias, without vendor pressure.
Radically Independent – By Principle
Jeder Assessment-Anbieter wird dir sagen, dass sein Tool deine Kompetenzen abdeckt. PEATS ist die einzige Stimme im Raum, die keinen Grund hat, das zu tun.
- Wir analysieren auf Subskalen-Ebene – nicht auf Marketing-Broschüren-Niveau. Jedes Mapping ist dokumentiert und nachvollziehbar.
- Wir sagen dir, wenn kein Tool am Markt wirklich passt. Oder wenn dein Kompetenzmodell Arbeit braucht, bevor ein Tool helfen kann.
Our independence is not a business model – it’s a principle. The client’s needs come first. Every analysis, every recommendation, every conversation starts there.
