HAGER Management Assessment | AI Readiness
Who is really in charge in your organization?
Poor hiring decisions for key positions cost companies many times the annual salary. The HAGER Management Assessment provides you with scientifically sound decision-making criteria—in just 3 hours, without disrupting business operations.
Compact | Practical | Tailored to Small and Medium-Sized Businesses | Insights Discovery
Poor hiring decisions in top management cost companies, on average, 3 to 5 times the annual salary of the position in question.
Management Assessment
Hiring decisions shouldn’t be based on gut feelings alone.
It’s possible to assess whether someone is technically qualified. But whether someone can lead within your organization, make decisions under pressure, and rally the team behind them—that’s not something you can tell from a resume.
The HAGER Management Assessment combines scientifically validated psychometrics, structured interviews, and practical case studies to provide a clear picture: strengths, areas for development, cultural fit, and specific action items—tailored to each individual and comparable across your entire team.
In 3 hours per person. Without disrupting operations. With results you can put into practice right away.
Investment Security
Scientific data helps inform your judgment and prevents costly mistakes.
No Business Disruption
Compact format: ~50 min. preliminary assessment, 3 hours on-site per person.
Identifying Potential
Who leads under pressure? Who is developing? Who fits your organization’s culture?
Direct Applicability
The management workshop translates assessment data into concrete HR actions.

AI Readiness – Optional Module
AI is changing what leadership requires. Is your team ready?
Not every leader needs to understand AI. But every leader must be able to decide what AI means for their organization—and what it doesn’t.
The AI Readiness module extends the HAGER Management Assessment with a fifth dimension: how open is someone to new technologies? How sound is their judgment when working with AI output? And who on your team is driving the transformation—and who is holding it back?
The module can be booked as an optional add-on and integrates seamlessly into the existing assessment process—with no extra effort for participants.
Interest in AI & Openness to New Technologies
Digital Judgment: Assessing and Evaluating AI Output
Transformation Readiness: Identifying Drivers or Barriers
