The World’s First Competency & Confidence Assessment Modelling (CCAM®) Tool for the Data Centre Sector available only from CNet Training.
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.
CNet Training has launched the world’s first Competency and Confidence Assessment Modelling (CCAM®) Tool for the data centre sector and has the ability to revolutionise the way data centre managers identify, manage and mitigate people risk.
The CCAM® Tool provides real-time analysis of both competence and confidence for individuals and teams and exposes root causes of employee behaviour (positive and negative) in data centre facilities. Its proven complex software, which is supported by a team of psychologists and operates within International Test Commission guidelines, works through various criteria to identify people risk. It focuses on where individuals’ real skills, knowledge and ability gaps are and, through subsequent targeted intervention, behaviour can be positively changed and subsequently risks reduced.
The results of each assessment allow the right course of development action to be planned and taken to address individuals’ weaknesses, and with the ability to take the CCAM® Tool assessment again post-development, it ensures any costs incurred have been utilised effectively, thus maximising the opportunity to achieve ROI. It can also be used as a valuable pre-employment tool allowing managers to understand the development investment required for potential new staff.
The CCAM® Tool:
- Is a SaaS based people risk platform
- Identifies, manages & mitigates people risk
- Provides real-time analysis of both competence & confidence for individuals and teams
- Identifies misplaced confidence
- Exposes the root causes of employee behaviour in mission critical environments
- Helps to manage & build teams & competencies
- Uncovers skills, knowledge and ability gaps
- Saves money whilst maximising ROI
There is a huge difference between testing someone’s memory and knowing how they will behave in a critical environment. The CCAM® Tool provides real-time analysis of both competence and confidence for individuals and exposes root causes of employee behaviour (positive and negative) in network infrastructure and data centre facilities and helps to identify the ‘unconscious incompetent’. It’s proven complex software, which is supported by a team of psychologists and operates within International Test Commission guidelines. It works through various criteria to identify where individuals’ real skills, knowledge and ability gaps are and, through subsequent targeted intervention, behaviour can be positively changed.
The CCAM® Tool provides an analysis of, and scores, each individual within your team to identify:
- Current employee behaviour
- What each employee – UNDERSTANDS, DOES NOT UNDERSTAND, MISUNDERSTANDS, including current confidence levels
- Which employees are going to – apply what is RIGHT, apply what is WRONG
- Where the knowledge, skills and ability gaps are
- Where the risk is
- Where development budget needs to be allocated
- The scoring provides a thorough overview of each individual and your entire team. You set an ideal score to show where you would like to be and this can be used to benchmark against

Legend for Outcome Categories
Misunderstanding - High Risk
This indicates a misunderstanding of the topic. The confident decisions made were believed to be correct but were in fact the incorrect choices. This suggests an over confidence in this topic and the decisions made about understanding the topic were the wrong ones. Prioritise this topic for development. Training and coaching are required to gain a fuller understanding of the topic and an appreciation of the decisions that should be taken.
Misunderstanding
This indicates a misunderstanding of the topic. The confident decisions made were believed to be correct but were in fact the incorrect choices. This suggests an over confidence in this topic and the decisions made about understanding the topic were the wrong ones. Prioritise this topic for development. Training and coaching are required to gain a fuller understanding of the topic and an appreciation of the decisions that should be taken.
Not Sure of Topic
This indicates a lack of understanding of the topic as all questions have been answered as “don’t know”. This means there is a clear development opportunity for additional coaching and training to fully understand the approaches and behaviours required to understand this topic.
Some Understanding
This indicates an understanding below the required standard. Review the topic and the goals and identify the most appropriate coaching or training required. By understanding this topic more clearly the right decisions can be made in a confident manner. Also focus on the likely actions and behaviours required to know and understand this topic
Under Confident Knowledge
This indicates a good understanding of the topic and an achievement above the minimum standard required. However, there is a suggestion that confidence is low in applying a full understanding of this topic. This suggests uncertainty in applying the correct knowledge for this topic to become more confident in the topic, gain some feedback from a peer or manager about what is already known about this topic. This will help to appreciate the knowledge achieved in this topic already, plus it will increase confidence in making the right decision confidently
Confidently Knowledgeable
This indicates a good understanding of the topic and confidently demonstrates that the action to be taken will be the correct one. As a good standard has been achieved there is no immediate developmental need required. However, to master the topic the scores should be +100 for understanding and +100 for confidence. This would indicate a mastery of the topic and suggest a propensity to take the right action in a productive way. So any additional review of the topic is always a positive one.
