The MCPAŽ is a powerful research based instrument, with an online questionnaire called the MCPQŽ
that records a candidate's responses to a series of phrase cards in 30-45 minutes. The data collected supports a structured interview, in which a counsellor will establish the candidate's current level of capability and potential for this to grow over time. MCPA is based on the Bioss theory of Levels of Work that identifies 7 levels of organisational complexity, ranging from the direct, through the organisational to the strategic. The MCPA is an exceptionally powerful and useful instrument because it directly addresses two of the most important issues in executive development -
current capability and potential. It is also one of the few methodologies to have been the subject of a full independent validation at national research institute level.

MCPA produces a narrative report showing the candidate's responses to the phrase cards, and his or her position on an array of curves - derived from historical data - which link levels of complexity with age. The candidate will be able to compare this output with his or her current position in the company or organisation, thereby obtaining important information to support the executive development process. By indicating current capability and potential, MCPA makes a powerful contribution to talent bank management, executive selection, career development, and succession planning.
The MCPA program is held by consultants, or by company or organisation HR professionals. Candidates complete the MCPQ questionnaire online and results are delivered automatically to the consultants or company or
organisation HR professionals who will be handling the feedback.
