Human Asset Review®

Recognise the potentials and develop your executives

Human Asset Review® - a strategic tool from Odgers Berndtson

Human Asset Review® is a system developed by Odgers Berndtson to provide companies and leading decision makers with a clear analysis of the management potential their executives currently have.

Human Asset Review® supports you in developing high potentials internally and in finding replacements, helps you build new structures or restructure existing ones and handle mergers, acquisitions and alignments.

Applications at a glance

  •     Executive assessment and development
  •     Recognising strategic potentials

  •     Rebuilding and reorganisation
  •     Mergers, acquisitions and alignments

Upper management and the audited executives enjoy long-term benefits from Human Asset Review®

Independently of what reason you have to ask us to carry out Human Asset Review®, the benefits for you and your staff will remain the same:

  •     Upper management and the board learn which executive potential the company can count on in the future.
  •     They receive valuable decision making guidance regarding which candidates best fulfil the job requirements.
  •     The audited executives recognise their opportunities and potential and are sensitised and motivated in their personal development.


Human Asset Review® also analyses your longstanding staff members with clarity and objectivity with the aim of finding managerial abilities that have not yet been put to use. In audits you will often find potential leaders among your own staff, whose abilities can be developed without needing to take recourse to external candidates.

Tailoring solutions in a modular approach

Human Asset Review® is not a fixed concept, it is flexible and modular.

Human Asset Review® is a system of eight proven modules building on each other, combined according to your strategic needs to create an evaluation system tailored to your specific company, perfectly adapted to your functions, organisational levels, the occasion or reason as well as your corporate culture.

Process with expert auditors and an effective schedule

At the beginning there is always a comprehensive analysis of the point of departure for your company and the challenges you face in the future.

Almost all of our management audits begin with the “Business Live Simulation“, our own unique assessment tool. The subsequent expert interview is carried out by a Human Asset Review® professional along with an expert in that particular business sector from the Odgers Berndtson Industry Practice in question. We take utmost care to involve only auditors whose background experience and seniority are on par with that of the candidates.

An evaluation of the results in a conference attended by the leading managers is part of Human Asset Review®.

Human Asset Review® is a process designed to meet the high demands of management with regard to effective processes. That takes into account the limited time resources your staff have and avoids time consuming tasks before or during the audit.

10 years of proven practice – more than 8,000 projects world wide

You will find Human Asset Review® being used by companies of very different size all over the world. They range from automotive corporations to chain stores, from publishing houses to financial service providers. Longstanding client relationships attest to the high quality of the system and the reliability of audits carried out by Odgers Berndtson.
