The World’s First Competency & Confidence Assessment Modelling (CCAM®) Tool for the Digital Infrastructure Industry
Risk affects every organisation, although the types of threats that businesses face will depend on varying factors, yet many businesses struggle to accurately identify, and counter risks effectively and so increase the chances of making costly and reputational damaging mistakes.
CNet has launched the world’s first Competency and Confidence Assessment (CCAM®) Modelling Tool for the digital infrastructure industry that is revolutionising the way managers identify, manage, and mitigate
people risk.
The CCAM® Tool provides real-time analysis of knowledge, competence and confidence for individuals and teams and exposes root causes of employee behaviour (positive and negative).
It recommends individual interventions and professional development activities aimed at enhancing knowledge and positively changing behaviour to ultimately reduce human related risk.
The CCAM® Tool Process
It’s easy, we just require the names and email addresses of your teams and will register them onto the assessment. To begin the initial assessment, the individuals receive an email from us with a link to
start the assessment, it can be taken on any device. The individuals read the situation paragraph and work through the questions relating to it, selecting their answer and the level of confidence in their response. Once complete, we collate the results, create individual and team reports and recommend the next steps to take.
This could be:
- Re-assessment (to confirm good results)
- Mentoring/coaching
- Undertake online module learning
- Attend a remote attendance technical education program
How Does CCAM® Work?
It is a complex and proven SaaS platform, which is supported by a team of psychologists and behavioural experts and operates within International Test Commission guidelines. The software works through situational judgement and assessment criteria to identify people risk. It focuses on identifying exactly where data centre technicians’ real skills, knowledge and capability gaps are. Situational judgement assessments to identify:
- What each employee:
UNDERSTANDS
DOES NOT UNDERSTAND
MISUNDERSTANDS - What each employee’s: CONFIDENCE is in what they think they understand
- Which employees are going to apply: what is RIGHT
- Which employees are going to apply: what is WRONG
However, considering the huge difference between testing someone’s memory and knowing how they will behave in a critical environment. CCAM® adds a further layer to the assessment by capturing levels of
competence and confidence in each answer. This provides further crucial insight that is also used towards scoping the recommended targeted individual interventions and professional development activities. The results show on an individual and team basis and, with the ability to re-take the CCAM® Tool assessment again post-development, it provides a good measure of the success of the chosen interventions and professional development activities and therefore maximises the opportunity to measure ROI.
