1. Challenge Based Development (CBDTM) is an approach that focuses on developing managers through challenges they complete in the workplace.
2. According to research, 70% of managerial development comes from challenges at work, 20% from coworkers, and 10% from formal training.
3. The CBDTM procedure involves diagnostic testing to identify behaviors to change, setting tailored challenges for the manager to complete in 6-8 weeks to acquire new habits aligned with organizational goals.

World & Polish Business Leaders about challenges and experiences
Tomorrow’s leaders get their training by dealing with today’s challenges. You have to
take the ones with the most potential and send them where the action is... Leaders
are formed in the fires of experience.
Carlos Ghosn, CEO Nissana i Renault
Tłumaczenie własne (Ghosn & Ries, 2005, pp. 152–153).
I don’t believe in intuition. Maybe I will say something controversial, but intuition is
experiences that we can’t knowingly associate. If some person doesn’t have
experiences, he also doesn’t have an intuition.
Michał Bichta, managing Director, Merck Sp .z o.o.

4. Challenge is an ambitious task,
fulfilled by a particular manager.
The task is relevant to the role and
responsibilities of the manager.
The challenge is tailored to the
results of psychological diagnosis
of the manager and the
possibilities of a particular
organization.
The challenge should be
considered both demanding and
new for the manager.
Challenge – what does it mean?

6. The CBD™ procedure
First diagnosis, then action
A typical program takes 8 to 10 weeks. The time required to complete the
development program depends on the availability of the manager and the
cooperation between the Client and IAKG.
7. Diagnostic testing
First diagnosis, then action
Tools used by IAKG allow to build a comprehensive profile of a person in the work context. It is possible due to the methodical
multi-level diagnosis combined with an understanding of the relations between multiple levels.
