Established in 2002 and headquartered in Turin, Italy, with an office in Bonn, Germany, UNSSC delivers cutting-edge learning solutions, advisory support, and change facilitation to foster a shared organizational culture. Leveraging our deep, long-standing relationships, system-wide credibility and knowledge of UN mandates and context, the staff college works with UN entities to design and deliver learning that meets their specific needs.For more information, please visit the UNSSC website at www.unssc.org. Through its Knowledge Centre for Leadership and Management (KCLM), UNSSC is dedicated to supporting partner organisations in strengthening leadership and managerial capabilities across the UN system. Leadership assessment is therefore expected to serve multiple purposes: - supporting system-wide transformation efforts, - enabling greater alignment in recruitment approaches, - strengthening consistency in leadership standards and competencies, and - informing continuous learning and development. UNSSC intends to collaborate with multiple service providers for the delivery of assessment components, while retaining overall responsibility for quality assurance, implementation, data integrity, and alignment with evolving UN system needs. UNSSC aims to develop a structured Leadership Assessment Pipeline that integrates assessment and development into a coherent, phased approach. This includes: - pre-assessment diagnostics (such as psychometric tools and 360-degree feedback), - interactive assessment components (including simulations, case studies, and structured competency-based interviews), and - post-assessment elements focused on feedback, development, planning and leadership readiness.
