Consultancy For Leadership Assessments

Introduction/background of Tiko

Tiko (previously known as Triggerise) is an organization that uses its digital platform called Tiko to motivate users – primarily young women and adolescent girls – to make positive choices. We use nudges like reminders, discounts, in-person and digital follow-ups, and reward points to encourage our users to access and use healthy products and services. We also support them in becoming entrepreneurs and adding value to their economies. Tiko’s reward points can be used to redeem products and services at local shops, or as subsidies to cover the cost of sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services, removing the cost to access for the users, who are primarily 15-24-year-old adolescent girls and young women (AGYW).

Tiko has operations in Kenya, Uganda, Ethiopia, Burkina Faso, Zambia, Nigeria and South Africa.

In light of future growth, Tiko is looking to do a comprehensive competency assessment on parts of its leadership teams to assess their strengths and development needs.

Scope of work

Tiko is looking for a partner that can perform a full psychometric assessment of leaders to assess their readiness for future roles. This should include but is not limited to:

• General capacity assessment
• Role-specific competency assessment
• 360 feedback assessment

Depending on your approach, you may add other relevant elements in your proposal. Please describe in detail what your scientific approach is to this assessment and which methods you intend to use. The language for the assessments and reports should be English.

Location of services

The assessment will be done online because the leaders that are to be assessed are based in different countries across Sub-Saharan Africa. In your proposal, please elaborate how you will amend your approach to ensure good results if applicable. The successful bidder can be based anywhere in the world but should be available to perform the assessments during working hours in the timezones GMT +0 to GMT +3.

Technical requirements

Capacity Assessment

This element should provide an accurate assessment of the intellectual and emotional capacity the leader has to perform in the required role and benchmark it against requirements for this and similar roles.

Role specific competency assessment

This element should provide an accurate assessment of how able the leader is with regards to the competencies required to fulfil the future role as well as a gap analysis.

360 feedback assessment

This element should provide an accurate assessment of how the leader is currently perceived by the people working with them and around them and should identify strengths and development areas.

Final assessment

This element should provide a final go/no go recommendation based on the three elements above.

Experience

The successful bidder should have a proven track record of international psychometric leadership assessments, preferably in the NGO sector. The methodology used should be science based and have proven results.

Data protection

The proposal should outline the data protection measures the bidder has put into place to ensure this sensitive data is handled with care. This includes but is not limited to information about how the organisation handles personal data and under which laws, how it is stored, how access is given/restricted and how data breaches are handled.
