Development of a Scalable Digital Leadership Assessment Platform with Robust Data Security

Organizations face difficulties with inconsistent and unreliable survey-based leadership assessments. Finding scientifically validated tools is resource-intensive, leading to inefficient feedback systems that hinder accurate leadership evaluation. Additionally, the existing platforms lack seamless user experience and robust data security, especially concerning GDPR compliance.
