MANAGEMENT AUDIT TO FILL A POSITION ON THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

For the replacement of a board member in a subsidiary of a regional energy supplier company in south-west Germany, a custom-fit management audit was developed for the target position to be filled. After a briefing by the company's board of directors, two role exercises, two interview guidelines and a case study were designed and conducted on three audit days with one candidate each.

Due to the observation time of one day and the realisation by two experienced business psychologists, the influence of coincidences could be significantly reduced and an objective and valid picture of the abilities and skills of the candidates was obtained. Finally, detailed reports on the results were prepared to complete the process.
