In the future, the PEAK-A will be established as the gold standard in diagnostics for top management. Supervisory bodies will insist on the PEAK-A when filling top positions, which is often challenging, in order to ensure that only the most qualified managers are selected.

The test system was developed in 2020 specifically for the target group of top management in organizations. Our customers use this diagnostic tool for various purposes:

• To determine the potential of senior executives
• To select and promote candidates for top management positions
• For team development within top management teams (Upper Echelon) in order to sustainably improve their performance

The test system consists of three self-assessment scales that capture the participants' motives, leadership behavior and personality, as well as an AI-based language effectiveness test.

These scales were successfully validated in a proof of concept in which 350 top managers took part. The PEAK-A is the only test procedure that correlates self-assessments with actual language behavior and was also developed specifically for the requirements of the 21st century.

Managers use the PEAK-A not only to determine their own potential, but also to understand their positioning within a certain performance percentile. This is comparable to the ELO system in chess, which reflects the relative playing strength of a player in a dynamic environment.
