KL | Diagnostic Suite

Investors, supervisory boards, boards of directors and executive committees regularly ask KAUF Leaders & Ventures the following questions:

• KNOW HOW - What do managers really know about innovation and transformation and digitization?
  
  
• POTENTIAL - What leadership skills do executives have in order to manage transformation and innovation processes?
  
  
• PERFORMANCE - How is a transformation process in a company carried out? And are there ways to specifically improve performance?
  
  

In order to answer these key questions, KAUF Leaders & Ventures, in collaboration with universities, institutes, technology companies and digitisation experts, has developed a unique instrument - the KL | Diagnostic Suite (KL | DS).

KL | DS describes a set of solutions that enable the transformation and innovation competence of companies and managers to be analysed and improved.

The analysis is carried out on the basis of latest scientific findings and with the help of a diagnostic model specifically and exclusively developed for KAUF Leaders & Ventures.

KL | DS compiles scores which are relevant to transformation both statically and dynamically. KL|DS takes emotion as well as reason into consideration and distinguishes between the key levels of operation: management, organisational unit, employees, culture.

KL | DS applies advanced data & analytics technologies and includes all available data sources, including social media.

Intuitively accessible dashboards and understandable scores measure the results for managers and companies on a variable basis, i.e. at freely selectable intervals throughout the course of the transformation process.

Deviations from the "ideal corridor" can be specifically addressed and corrected. The success of the changes is measurable. Performance is continuously improved.

KL | DS replaces static employee surveys and provides "unplugged" insights – up-to-date and unfiltered.

KL | DS consists of 3 modules, which can be used individually or in combination:

• KL | KNOW HOW - is a modern application that evaluates managers’ knowledge in specific contexts. Experts from all over the world help us to adapt the content to the individual context.
  
  
• KL | POTENTIAL - is a new online assessment which analyzes managers’ innovation and transformation competence and differentiates between will and skill based on scientifically sound methodology.
  
  
• KL | PERFORMANCE - is an analytic solution which uses algorithms to glean employee opinions from digital sources and shows where a company stands in terms of transformation in comparison to the market environment.
