This leadership track session focused on questioning the existing paradigms for capability and capacity development, and highlighted how a change of perspective can provide an innovative answer for the current problems faced by Testing Heads. The presentation focused on the need for doing structured assessments to determine and focus on the areas of improvement at an Individual and an organizational level. Additionally, the assessments need to focus on identifying the role specific capabilities for an individual using adaptive, intelligent assessment methods.
