Game-Based Managerial Competency Assessment
A Data-Driven, Game-Based Approach to Evaluating Managerial Capability.
An immersive, game-based assessment designed to objectively measure real-world managerial competencies.
Game-Based Managerial Competency Assessment enables organizations to evaluate leadership potential and managerial readiness through interactive simulations that reflect actual workplace challenges.
Background
The Challenge of Traditional Managerial Assessments
Organizations often face critical limitations when assessing managerial talent:
- Difficulty measuring actual managerial behavior, not just theoretical knowledge
- High subjectivity and bias in interview-based assessments
- Conventional tests fail to reflect real workplace complexity
- Limited visibility into competency proficiency levels across different managerial roles
PT Santos Jaya Abadi required an assessment approach that could simulate real managerial situations while delivering measurable, objective, and defensible results

The assessment consists of three integrated game experiences:
1. Supplier Match – Planning Phase
Evaluates planning ability, resource allocation, supplier selection, and operational foresight.
2. Morning Crisis – Execution Phase
Tests delegation skills, problem-solving, people management, and leadership under time pressure.
3. Visual Novel – Evaluation Phase
Measures analytical thinking, performance evaluation, data interpretation, and strategic decision-making.
Participants are required to respond to realistic managerial challenges under clear instructions and strict time constraints, ensuring that each decision reflects genuine competency rather than idealized responses
