Frequently Asked Questions

Classic evaluation forms mostly work with abstract competence terms and scales. esc Competence Development instead relies on concrete, observable behavioral anchors that clearly describe what behavior is optimal. The self/external assessment comparison makes perception differences visible and creates an objective basis for discussions.

Yes! The system offers proven templates for various roles and industries. You can adapt these to your specific requirements at any time or create completely custom profiles. Flexibility is a core feature of the tool.

The completion itself takes about 10-15 minutes per person, depending on the number of questions. The report is available immediately after all assessments are completed.

Large deviations are valuable – they show where different perceptions exist. The tool automatically prioritizes these and highlights the largest deviations in the report. Since the behavioral anchors are observable, they can be easily clarified in discussion. This allows concrete measures for competence development to be agreed upon.

Data protection has the highest priority. The system runs exclusively on EU servers, uses encrypted connections throughout and has clear deletion concepts. For our customers, we act as a data processor (DPA). AI is only optionally used in the workflow – never in the diagnostics themselves.
