What is Assessment and Evaluation?

Assessment and evaluation solutions are primarily designed to measure, analyze and interpret the knowledge, skills, competencies and performance of individuals or organizations to inform learning, talent and business decisions. Unlike training solutions that may incorporate assessments as a supporting feature, providers in this category offer assessment and evaluation as a core capability, delivering the tools, methodologies and analytics needed to generate meaningful insights and guide decision-making.

These solutions provide critical insights before, during and after training engagements to help organizations identify gaps, track progress, validate competencies and demonstrate the impact of learning initiatives. Assessments are designed to:

• Evaluate learning effectiveness and performance outcomes 
• Measure competencies, behaviors and skill development 
• Identify strengths, gaps and areas for improvement
• Support data-driven decisions in talent and training strategies 
• Provide actionable insights through measurement, benchmarking and evaluation

Who Should Apply?

Providers whose primary business includes assessment and evaluation solutions that measure, analyze and interpret performance, learning outcomes, skills, competencies and potential across the corporate learning and development (L&D) lifecycle. This category is intended for organizations that offer assessment and evaluation as a core capability through multiple assessment products, methodologies or services, rather than companies that include a limited number of assessments as a supplementary component of a broader training offering.

Eligible solutions may include:

• Leadership and talent assessments 
• Skills and competency diagnostics 
• Behavioral and personality assessments 
• Pre- and post-training evaluations 
• Learning impact and ROI measurement frameworks 
• Assessment platforms, benchmarking tools and evaluation analytics solutions

Solutions may be delivered through digital platforms, managed services or integrated analytics tools. Providers of all sizes are encouraged to apply. However, organizations should be able to demonstrate that assessment and evaluation represents a significant component of their solution portfolio and market offering.
