Assessment Center Perspectives for Talent Management Strategies is the most comprehensive book about assessment center methodology ever written.

Byham, Ph.D., Chairman & CEO, Development Dimensions International, Inc. A truly valuable book which adds to the growing body of literature on assessment centers by introducing the concept of 'focal constructs' and attempts to tackle the thorny issue of how different talent management strategies influence the purpose and design of the assessment center by highlighting the elusiveness of the phrase 'talent management.' Throughout, this book is a rich source of well-founded evidence, providing advice for practitioners and advocating new avenues for further research. -Nigel Povah, CEO, Assessment & Development Consultants, Ltd, UK
