Topics and Speakers:
A Practitioner’s View of Game-Based Assessments
Ben Williams, Founder and MD of Sten10 – Ben will provide an introduction to the world of Game-based assessment (GBA), from the point of view of a practitioner navigating their way through the various options and sharing some ideas of how to make an informed choice about when and if to use them.
Engineering for Equality: how behavioural and data science can make recruitment smarter, fairer and easier
Kate Glazebrook, CEO and Co-Founder of Applied - Kate will be speaking about her early work in the Behavioural Insights Team advising the UK government, and how that led to the creation of Applied, which seeks to use nudge and evidence-based design to reduce the bias in recruitment decisions
AI Versus Traditional Assessments: accuracy, ethics and practical implications
Dr Kiki Leutner, Head of Science Game Based Assessments, HireVue
Dr Gema Ruiz de Huydobro, Business Psychologist, I-O Psychology Consultant, Hirevue
Can AI help us create better assessments of intelligence, competencies, and personality? Research suggests algorithms can accurately detect personality traits based on observed behaviour. There is increasing evidence that video and game based assessments are accurate alternatives for traditional structured interviews and IQ tests. New assessment technologies are gaining ground in applied practice and we will discuss what is possible, what is ethical, and what precautions need to be taken before adapting AI based assessment solutions.
Exploring the Inter-Section between Technology and Coaching
Alexandru Popa-Antohi, Group Leadership Development Manager for Vodaphone Group - Alexandru will be speaking about his work supporting leaders’ development in Vodafone, recent use-cases and experiments that explore the intersection between technology and coaching, and how the profession might advance with the use of disruptive technologies, including AI or VR/AR.
