Well-thought out concepts and tools for self- and team assessments. Clear and engaging presentation by Mr. Cook. Great demonstration of how the competency assessment tool has been integrated into the Proformative site.

Useful information, but the theoretical frameworks are not my cup of tea - too much management-speak jargon for my taste.
